It is not essential to remove the device driver for the host adapter you are replacing. Windows NT 4.0 dynamically detects the absence or presence of host adapter hardware, and no problems should arise if you leave the existing device driver installed. You may remove the device driver later, after you have successfully restarted Windows NT 4.0. However, if you leave the driver installed, the system alerts you with an error message of the extra device driver every time you start your computer. See Removing a Host Adapter on page 9-6. 2 Once the new device driver is installed, shut down Windows NT 4.0 and replace the existing host adapter with the Ultra320 Family host adapter. 3 Restart your computer and Windows NT 4.0. It is possible that some drive letter assignments may change from the previous configuration. 9-8

To swap adapters:
1
Install the driver for the Ultra320 Family host adapter by
following the steps in
Installing the Driver When Windows NT 4.0

It is not essential to remove the device driver for the host
adapter you are replacing. Windows NT 4.0 dynamically
detects the absence or presence of host adapter hardware, and
no problems should arise if you leave the existing device driver
installed. You may remove the device driver later, after you
have successfully restarted Windows NT 4.0. However, if you
leave the driver installed, the system alerts you with an error
message of the extra device driver every time you start your
computer. See
Removing a Host Adapter
on page 9-6
.
2
Once the new device driver is installed, shut down
Windows NT 4.0 and replace the existing host adapter with the
Ultra320 Family host adapter.
3
Restart your computer and Windows NT 4.0. It is possible that
some drive letter assignments may change from the previous
configuration.
