- Installing the Windows NT device driver for Series 15/44/441/48/70
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- This procedure will disable the Adaptec 1542 and BusLogic drivers.
-
- This procedure will allow you to replace the boot driver on drive C. This
- should only be done if you are booting to an AMI Series 15, 44, 441, 48, or
- 70. Your adapter should be configured with the extended mode (32-bit driver
- or Busmaster > 16Mb) disabled to begin with.
-
- 1) Boot up Windows NT (it will boot in Adaptec 154x compatability mode).
- 2) Select "Windows NT Setup" in the "Main" window.
- 3) Pull down the "Options" menu and select "Add/Remove SCSI Adapters...".
- 4) Click on "Add..." in the "SCSI Adapter Setup" window.
- 5) Expand the selection box at "Adapter:", and click on "Other (Requires
- a disk from a hardware manufacturer)".
- 6) Ensure that the AMI SCSI adapter files diskette is in A: or B:, and that
- the dialog box in the "Insert Diskette" window shows "A:\NT311" or
- "B:\NT311", and
- click on OK.
- 7) In the "Select OEM Option" window, you will be presented with these
- options:
- "Adaptec 154x/164x as primary boot device"
- "Adaptec 154x/164x not as primary boot device"
- "AMIscsi Series 15/44/441/48/70 as primary boot device"
- "AMIscsi Series 15/44/441/48/70 not as primary boot device"
- "BusLogic Family as primary boot device"
- "BusLogic Family not as primary boot device"
- Select the first AMIscsi option if you want the AMI driver to replace the
- (default) Adaptec driver as the primary boot device driver. If you do
- not want to replace the primary boot driver, select the second AMIscsi
- option. The AMI driver will still replace the Adaptec driver as the SCSI
- driver loaded after bootup. You would normally select this option if you
- boot from a non-SCSI device, such as an IDE drive.
- Note: You can also use this setup procedure to replace the default
- Adaptec driver with the BusLogic driver. And, after you have replaced
- the Adaptec driver, you can use it to restore it. Just select one of
- the second through the sixth options as appropriate.
- 8) Click on "Install" in the "Select SCSI Adapter Option" window.
- 9) Ensure that the "path to the SCSI adapter files" is "A:\NT311" or
- "B:\NT311", and click on OK.
- Note: If you are using this procedure to install a BusLogic or Adaptec
- driver, enter the drive letter of your CD ROM drive followed by the path
- "\i386\". For example, if the drive is D:, you would enter "D:\i386\".
- Your Windows NT CD should be in the drive.
- 10) When the procedure finishes, close the "Windows NT Setup" window, and
- click on OK in the "Setup Message" window.
-
- You will have to perform a "Shutdown" and reboot Windows NT before the AMISCSI
- driver (or other newly installed driver) will become the active driver.
- Note: If you have replaced the Adaptec driver with the BusLogic driver as
- the primary boot driver, you will have to enable the extended mode of your
- adapter before you can reboot Windows NT. The AMI driver can work with the
- extended mode enabled or disabled.
