3.0 Quick installation instructions for experienced users
1. Ensure the Adaptec controller is set up properly and low level format the drive.

4.0 Detailed installation instructions
Follow the instructions below in sequence:
4.1 Setting up the BIOS
Note: Follow the on screen directions on the following disk operations:
Boot to the BIOS upgrade diskette (listed in section 1.0) and flash the system to revision 29A or later.
4.2 Running the Micro Channel Reference Disk
Note: If no Micro Channel cards are installed, there is no need to run the Reference Disk. However if a Micro Channel card is added, a 00165 configuration error will occur on boot and the system will go into the CMOS configuration menu:
1. CMOS will redisplay the 00165 error. Select to continue. Another error occurs, continue again. You are now at the main CMOS menu. Select Micro Channel Configuration. CMOS now prompts for the Reference Disk (place it in the floppy drive). The system will now reboot to the Reference Disk.
2. Error 00165 reoccurs. Select Y to run Automatic configuration when prompted. If the Reference Disk does not have an Adapter Description File (ADF) for your hardware, it will prompt for the option disk. When Automatic configuration is complete, the Reference disk menu can be used to inspect the settings. Verify your network cards are set to the proper speed if they are adjustable in the Reference Disk.
4.3 Setting up the Adaptec SCSI Subsystem
Note: For open bay models or any SCSI chain setup issues, download Faxback document # 33050. (In the U.S. call 800-426-3395).
