Netfinity7000 - Installing Windows NT 3.51 and 4.0

Applicable to: World-Wide

This document provides installation instructions for Microsoft Windows NT 3.51 and 4.0 on the IBM Netfinity 7000.

1. Before you begin installing Microsoft Windows NT 3.51 or 4.0, create the appropriate SCSI device driver diskette from the IBM Netfinity 7000 System CD (either for the onboard Adaptec or the IBM ServeRAID adapter, or both).

2. Make sure that you have the latest driver diskette for any other adapters that may be in the system, such as a network adapter.

3. Ensure that the MPS spec is set correctly in the system setup. For Microsoft Windows NT 3.51 and 4.0 set MPS Spec to 1.4.

4. Begin installation using diskettes for Windows 3.51 or the bootable CD-ROM for Windows 4.0.

5. Choose Custom Installation and specify device drivers.

6. Select the appropriate SCSI drivers for the Adaptec or ServeRAID adapters. Make sure to use the device drivers that are provided on the Netfinity 7000 CD-ROM.

7. Also specify the ATAPI IDE CD-ROM driver that is provided on the NT CD-ROM.

8. Continue with the installation, providing the appropriate device drivers when prompted. Again, make sure to use the drivers that are supplied on the Netfinity 7000 CD-ROM.
