NOTE : The above file names and directories may vary slightly depending upon the language you choose. To enable choosing different language Service Packs, visit
http://www.microsoft.com/ntserver/nts/downloads/recommended/SP6/allSP6.asp .

NOTE : Click here to view all the above drivers .


2.0 Quick installation instructions for experienced users
If you are installing more than one processor in your server, install all processors before starting the installation.

NOTE : If you install the secondary microprocessor after you install Windows NT Server 4.0, reinstall the operating system.

If you installed the ServeRAID 3L, 3H, or 3HB adapter and plan to use it as the startup device and also plan to use an external DASD enclosure, see the documentation provided with the external enclosure for proper set up.

You will need to install the installation diskettes, using the Windows NT server version 4, to prevent the wrong SCSI or RAID driver from being auto-loaded by Windows. If you do not follow this process, your hard drive will be incorrectly detected during the installation process.

If you place the CD-ROM in the drive at the start of the installation, change the default startup sequence to have the diskette as the first boot device in the system set up.

The recommended device drivers for the 3500 M10s embedded devices are listed in section 1.0 What you will need.

After the installation of Windows NT server v4.0 has completed, apply Service Pack 6a to the server.


3.0 Setting up the hardware for NOS installation
This section and the sections that follow describe the various instructions needed for the installation process.
  1. Unplug the server. Remove the side cover.
  2. For the initial installation, install the microprocessors you plan to use. Remove all adapters and devices that are not required to install the base operating system. For example, if you are installing multiple network adapters, install only one at this time. If a tape drive or external SCSI devices are used, disconnect them temporarily. After the operating system starts without errors, reinstall the removed adapters and devices one at a time. This procedure simplifies the installation process.
NOTE : If you plan to use an external DASD enclosure, the following instructions do not apply. See the documentation provided with the external enclosure for proper set up. Continue referencing 3.0 Setting up the BIOS.
3. Install the desired number hard disk drives into the drive bays. Install drives in the lower bay to take advantage of the additional cooling fan.
