Creating the Windows NT4 Installation Diskettes
===============================================
Windows NT4 requires several installation diskettes as well as the
SCSI driver diskette described below. If you do not have these
Windows NT4 installation diskettes, they can be created from
DOS using WINNT.EXE or from Windows NT4 using WINNT32.EXE. These
commands can be found on the Windows NT4 installation CD.
DOS: WINNT.EXE /OX
WINDOWS NT: WINNT32.EXE /OX
Creating the "Windows NT4 ConnectCom Driver" Diskette
===================================================
NOTE: You can skip this step if you have the ConnectCom release
diskette. It is already set up as a driver diskette to allow you
to install the ConnectCom driver.
To create a driver diskette for installing the ConnectCom Driver
to a new or existing Windows NT4 system, copy all of the Windows NT4
driver files (txtsetup.oem, adv909.inf, adv909.sys) to the
top directory of a DOS formatted floppy diskette. Label the diskette
"ConnectCom FC1000-FCP-SCSI Driver for NT4.0" and also record the driver
version number for future references.
New Windows NT4: Driver Installation
===================================
This is the instruction for installing Windows NT4 onto a new Fibre
Channel SCSI drive connected to one of the above listed adapters. The
Windows NT4 setup can be started by booting from the "Windows NT
Installation" diskettes, or by booting from the Windows NT4 CD-ROM.
(Booting from a SCSI CD-ROM requires that the CD-ROM is connected to a
SCSI Adapter that has its CD Boot feature enabled: hit Ctrl-A when
the ConnectCom's AdvanSys SCSI Adapter BIOS banner shows up to see what
features are enabled.)
When the Windows NT4 text-phase setup first initiate, hit the F6 key
immediately after the first blue text setup screen appears. This will
allow installation of Fibre Channel and SCSI adapter drivers during
the text-phase setup.
** Note ** : If you are booting off of a CD-ROM drive connected to any
of the ConnetCom's AdvanSys SCSI adapters, you will have to add driver
for that adapter as well.
At some point during the text-phase setup, you will be asked whether
you want to: "Specify Additional Driver". Answer yes by selecting 'S'
and a list of drivers will be presented. From this list select "Other".
When asked to enter a diskette, insert the ConnectCom Driver diskette.
Repeat this step if you have more than one driver.
If a ConnectCom adapter is found and the driver is successfully
loaded, Windows NT4 will display a message indicating that the driver
was loaded. After this message is displayed, press "Enter" to
continue the installation.
Existing Windows NT4: Driver Installation
=========================================
Note: Before you begin, you need an account with administrative
privileges to install these NT drivers onto your system.
Install the adapter into your computer before installing the driver.
Place the "Windows NT4 ConnectCom Driver" Diskette into the A:\ drive.
Go to control panel, double-click on SCSI Adapters.
In SCSI Adapters, select the Drivers tab and click on Add.
(If replacing drivers, select the driver to be replaced and
click on Remove. Do this before adding the replacement driver)
In the Install Driver window, click on "Have Disk".
Type in "A:\" and click OK.
Select the appropriate driver from the list and click OK.
Restart the computer.
Determining the ConnectCom Driver Version
=======================================
To determine the version number of the ConnectCom Windows NT driver
use the File Manager to look at the "Properties->Version" of the
ConnectCom driver file \X\system32\drivers\adv909.sys. X is the
directory of the currently running Windows NT system. X is
typically \WINNT. The File Manager "View" options setting must be
set to "All Files" to allow "adv909.sys" to be visible in the directory
"drivers".
