Ultra 100 IDE card Windows NT 4.0 Drivers Installation Instructions
-------------------------------------------------------------------

********************************** [IMPORTANT] *************************************
A. Although ATAPI devices (e.g. CD-ROM, LS-120) can be detected by the IDE BIOS
   on booting up, they will not work until the driver is loaded.
B. The ATAPI device connected to Ultra 100 IDE card may not be used as a boot drive. 
C. To save time, install the Windows NT 4.0 with the hard drives and CD-ROM drives
   connected to the on-board IDE ports first. Then follow section II) below.

I).     Windows NT 4.0 Fresh Installation Instructions. 
=======================================================
Follow the instructions in this section if you are performing a fresh
installation of Windows NT 4.0 using Ultra 100 IDE card.  You can either install
Windows NT from floppies or CD (Also refer to note 3 for additional details.)
1.      Enter the system BIOS and setup the device bootable priority.
        For more information, please refer to your system board's user manual
        for reference.
2.      Save the system configuration.
3.      Insert Ultra 100 IDE card.  Refer to Note 2 of this document for detail.
4.      Insert the NT4 CD into the CD-ROM drive and reboot.
5.      If you choose to install Windows NT from floppies, insert the Windows
        NT Setup Disk1, also known as boot disk, into the floppy drive for the
        floppy installation.
6.      When you see this message, "Windows NT Setup" screen, press the 'F6'

        repeating step 7 for each host adapter and insert the manufacturer's
        driver diskette.  Otherwise, Press 'Enter' to continue with the Windows
        NT installation.
12.     For the remainder of the installation, please follow the NT SETUP
        screens' instructions.

II)     Adding Ultra 100 IDE card in an existing Windows NT platform
====================================================================
Notes:  The driver MUST be installed before switching to Ultra 100 IDE card
        for existing Windows NT 4.0 system.
===========================================================================
1.      Goto to the Control Panel and select the "SCSI Adapters" icon.
2.      Select the "Drivers" tab and click on the "Add" button.
3.      Click on the "Have Disk" button, insert the driver diskette.
4.      From the "Install From Disk" dialogue box, type A:\WINNT and
        click OK.
5.      Select the "CMD PCI 646U2/648/649 Ultra DMA IDE Controller" from
        the "SCSI Adapter" screen and click OK.
6.      When prompted to reboot, reboot the system and turn the power off
        when the system restarts.
7.      Install the Ultra 100 IDE card to a PCI bus master slot. Refer to Notes 2
        of this readme file for reference.
9.      Turn on your system and the NT operating system should be functional
        with the Ultra 100 IDE card.
        (If the system fails with a blue screen with the third line from top
         say "Inaccessible_boot_device," then CMD driver is not properly
         loaded in previous steps.)  
10.     Reboot NT and try to restart with the last known good configuration
        then go back to step 1 to reinstall the driver again.
        To return to the last know good configuration setting, press the
        Space bar when booting NT and press 'L' then RETURN.

III).   Optimize the Controller's performance
=============================================
The following steps are optional, for those who are interested in getting
maximum performance.
1.      Open the configuration utility by performing the following steps:
        a). Press the START button from the tool bar and select run.
        b). Type CMDCFGNT and press ENTER
2.      By default, the CMD device driver will set the PCI Bus speed to
        33 MHz and the DMA enable button is enabled in the "General Tab"
        option.  If you wish to change to some other values, you can alter
        them in this property page.
3.      The controller #, next tab, (e.g. # = 0, 1, and so on) allows you to
        selectively tune each drive in a channel of a particular IDE card.

        === For example: ===
        Let's tune secondary channel slave drive to operating at UDMA mode 2.
        Go to the secondary channel override dialogue box, put a check for the
        slave box.  Next, click on the UDMA button.  Then, pull down the menu
        to select 2.  Click OK and reboot the system.

Notes:
======
1.      Install the driver for Ultra 100 IDE card before switching IDE ports
        for Section II).
2.      Power off the system and connect hard drives and CD-ROM drives to
        the Ultra 100 IDE card. Install it to a PCI slot that supports bus
        master. Enter system CMOS setup and clear the hard drives
        configuration to "NONE" or "AUTO."  Also, if the BIOS set up has the
        features for booting from an add-on card, please select it.  SAVE and
        EXIT CMOS.
3.      The current IDE BIOS is not fully functional with the latest 8x0
        chipset to complete a fresh installation of the NT operating system.
        CMD is currently discussing this issue with Intel's support engineers.
        Therefore, if you have the lastest intel's 8x0 chipset, please
        follow the section II to add the Ultra 100 IDE card.
