COMPAQ CONFIDENTIAL - NEED TO KNOW REQUIRED
Compaq SmartStart Installation
If you use Compaq SmartStart to install the OS, the drivers are installed
automatically.
Manual Installation
If you choose not to let SmartStart configure the server, follow this procedure:
1.
Insert the Compaq SmartStart and Support Software CD into the
CD-ROM drive.
2.
Boot your system.
3.
Select Manual Installation.
4.
Follow the instructions that display on the monitor.
Special Considerations
If using the Compaq Integrated Netelligent 10/100 TX Controller on a
ProLiant 1850R server and you do not plan to use the SmartStart
installation process to setup your server, you must install updated support
software for your controller to connect properly to the network, refer to
Appendix G, Updating LAN Drivers for instructions.
Please check README files on the Compaq SmartStart and Support Software
CD or Compaq SSD for Windows NT diskettes for additional details. For
Microsoft Windows NT 3.51:
You must choose Custom mode not Express mode.
During a text mode installation for the adapter driver, you must choose
IDE CD-ROM (Dual Channel) driver to detect the IDE CD-ROM.
During a text mode installation for disk controller adapter, you must
choose Other and insert the Compaq SSD for Windows NT to install the
C876 driver support.
