If you are very familiar with SCSI, hardware, and the installation process, continue with 3.0 Quick installation instructions for experienced users. If not, continue with 4.0 Detailed installation instructions.

3.0 Quick installation instructions for experienced users
1. If you are installing more than one processor in your server, install all the processors at this time.

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

2. Install any desired additional disk controllers that are supported.

Note: When installing disk controllers, be aware that disk controllers placed in slot 5 (the slot nearest the processors) will be seen by Windows NT prior to the onboard Adaptec controller, possibly affecting your start order. It is recommended that disk controllers be placed in slot 5 only if you want to start Windows NT from a disk controller other than the onboard Adaptec controller.

3. Install the desired number of hot-swap drives into the hot-swap bays beginning at the top and proceeding downward (rack model) or beginning at the left-hand bay and proceeding rightward (tower model).

4. If you are using the Integrated Adaptec 7895 SCSI Controller, install the Adaptec AHA-290x/291x/294x/394x/4933 or AIC-78xx PCI SCSI Controller from 7800 Family Manager Diskette (OS/2 Warp Server 4.0 SMP, WIN NT 4.0, WIN95, NT3.51, Netware 3.1x & 4x), Version 2.11 S3.

5. If you have installed the PC ServeRAID II, 3-L, or 3-H Adapter, you will need IBM ServeRAID DOS Configuration Diskette, Version 3.01.or later.

6. Press F6 when the message 'Setup is inspecting your computers hardware configuration' appears. Install either AIC7870.SYS or the IBM PC ServeRAID driver, IPSRAID.SYS, as appropriate.

7. For the integrated (onboard) Ethernet controller, use the AMD PC Net Controller driver shipped with the server on the IBM Netfinity and PC Server Ethernet Controller and IBM Netfinity 10/100 Fault Tolerant Device Driver Diskette, Version 2.01 diskette.

8. Install Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 3.

4.0 Detailed installation instructions
This section provides complete instructions for Windows NT Server 4.0 installation.

4.1 Setting up the hardware
1. Unplug the server.

2. If on a rack model server, remove the top cover by loosening the thumbscrew at the back center of the cover and pushing the cover toward the rear of the server. If on a floor-standing (tower model) server, use the switch on the left center front of the server to release the cover and push the cover towards the rear of the server.

3. Install any desired additional disk controllers that are supported.

4. For the initial installation, it is recommended that you install all the microprocessors you plan to use and remove all non-disk-controller adapters and devices that are not required to get the base operating system installed. (For example, if installing multiple network adapters install only one at this time. If a tape drive or external SCSI devices will be used, just disconnect them temporarily.) After the operating system is starting without errors, add these devices one at a time. This procedure simplifies the installation process.

Note: If you install a second microprocessor after you install Windows NT Server 4.0, you must reinstall the operating system.

Note: When installing the additional microprocessor, be sure that a voltage regulator module (VRM) is placed in the VRM slot, which is located on the system board near the hard disk drive enclosure fan. To install the VRM, first release the tab holding the fan and slide the fan partially out of the server to make room. Insert the VRM into the VRM slot according to the instructions that came with the microprocessor. Reinsert the fan after installing the VRM.

Note: If you plan to use an external hard disk drive enclosure, the following instructions do not apply. Refer to the documentation provided with the external enclosure for proper setup, then proceed to 4.2 Setting up the BIOS.

5. Close the top or side cover that you removed in step 2 of this section.

6. Plug in the server.

7. Install the desired number of hot-swap hard disk drives into the hot-swap bays beginning at the top (rack model) or leftmost (tower model) bay and proceeding downward or to the right.

4.2 Setting Up the BIOS
