1. System requirements

   Contact your computer vendor to make sure your computer is
   designed to work with Windows NT v4.0.


2. Device Driver Files

   To install the HP CD-Writer Plus M820e, the following Windows NT 
   device driver files are supplied on the Driver Installation
   diskette.

   KMMINI2A.SYS - Device driver for supplied PCMCIA interface card.
   UJDB310A.INF - Device driver information file for CD-R/RW Drive.


3. "Plug & Play" is not supported by Windows NT

   "Plug & Play" is not supported by Windows NT. You should never
   remove or insert a PCMCIA card while Windows NT is running. To
   insert or remove a PCMCIA card, first shut down Windows NT and
   turn off the power to your computer. Only then should you remove
   or insert an interface card into a PCMCIA slot.


4. Hardware Installation

   The supplied PCMCIA Interface Card is for the M820e CD-R/RW Drive
   only, and is not qualified for use with other external SCSI
   devices.

   (1) Shut down Windows NT, and turn off power to your computer.
   (2) Set the switch on the PCMCIA card to 16-bit mode. Windows NT 
       does not support Cardbus mode (Cardbus mode is for Plug & Play
       Windows 95 and 98 systems).
   (3) Connect the supplied SCSI cable to both the PCMCIA interface
       card and to the CD-R/RW Drive.
   (4) Connect the supplied AC adapter to CR-R/RW Drive and plug it
       into an AC outlet.
   (5) Firmly insert the interface card into your computer's PC card
       slot.
 

5. Device Driver Installation

   (1) Turn power on to your computer (the M820e CD-R/RW Drive
       should automatically power on as well) and log on to Windows
       NT.
   (2) Browse to the Control Panel and double-click on the 
       [SCSI Adapters] icon.
   (3) On the "SCSI Adapters" window appears, click the [Drivers]
       tab.
   (4) Click the [Add...] button.
   (5) When the "Install Driver" window appears, click the
       [Have Disk...] button.
   (6) When the "Install from disk" window appears, insert the
       supplied Driver Installation Diskette into your floppy drive
       and type "A:\NT" (do not type the quotation marks).
   (7) Click [OK].
   (8) The "Install Driver" window will appear with the following 2
       options displayed:

       "HP PCMCIA Card Host Adapter for 4.0"
       "HP PCMCIA Card Host Adapter for 4.0 (NO IRQ)"

       If your computer does NOT have a Texas Instruments PC1130
       PCMCIA controller, or if you do not know which type of PCMCIA
       controller is found on your system, select this, the default 
       driver:

       "HP PCMCIA Card Host Adapter for 4.0"

       If your computer has a Texas Instruments (TI) PC1130 PCMCIA
       Controller, select driver:

       "HP PCMCIA Card Host Adapter for 4.0 (NO IRQ)"

  PLEASE NOTE: Some computers which don't incorporate the TI PCMCIA
       Controller may still need the (NO IRQ) driver. If you have
       installed the default driver, and still do not see your M820e
       CD-R/RW drive, try removing the default driver (see Section 6
       below, for instructions on how to remove installed drivers),
       and then reinstalling the NO IRQ version of the driver.

   (9) With the driver selected, click the [OK] button.
  (10) When Windows NT prompts to reboot, remove the diskette from
       the A: drive and click on the [YES] button.

After Windows NT 4.0 restarts, you should be able to use your M820e
CD-R/RW Drive.


6. Removing NT Device Drivers

   (1) Browse to the Control Panel and double-click on the 
       [SCSI Adapters] icon.
   (2) Double-click the [SCSI Adapters] icon.
   (3) When the "SCSI Adapters" window appears, click the [Drivers]
       tab. 
   (4) Click on either the "PCMCIA Card Host Adapter for 4.0" or the
       "PCMCIA Card Host Adapter for 4.0 (NO IRQ)" in the list, and
       then Click the [Remove] button.
   (5) When the confirmation to "Remove Driver" window appears,
       click [Yes].
   (6) Click [OK] on the "SCSI Adapters" window.
   (7) Shut Down and Restart Windows NT 4.0.


7. Verification 

   To make sure that the device driver installed correctly,
   double-click the [My Computer] icon to start the Windows Explorer. 
   If you find an icon that represents your newly installed CD-R/RW
   Drive, installation of driver software was successful.


8. Application Software Installation

   (1) Insert the supplied software installation CD-ROM. The software
       install process usually begins automatically. If it does not,
       browse to the root of the CD-ROM drive, and double-click on
       the SETUP icon. 
   (2) Follow the instructions in the setup program to install all 
       application software.
