6-22 Installing the Operating System Drivers Microsoft Windows NT This section includes instructions for installing the initial driver for a new SMART-2DH Controller installation or upgrading the driver in an existing Windows NT server/SMART-2DH Controller system. If you use SmartStart to install Windows NT and drivers on a new server you do not need to make the Support Software Diskette (SSD) utility diskettes and can skip this section. NOTE: Windows NT supports using the Compaq Array Configuration Utility to reconfigure your drive arrays online. However, the first use of the Array Configuration Utility on a Windows NT server must be offline to initially set up at least one array. After that, the utility can be used online to change the array configuration. Materials Needed You will need the following items to manually install the SMART-2DH Controller Windows NT driver on your server: s Compaq SmartStart and Support Software CD (supplied in the SMART2DH Array Controller Option Kit) s Blank diskettes s Access to a server or workstation with a bootable CD-ROM drive. This may be the system in which you are installing the SMART-2DH Controller. Creating the Windows NT SSD Diskettes The Windows NT driver for the SMART-2DH Controller is located on the Compaq SmartStart and Support Software CD that was supplied in the SMART-2DH Controller Option Kit. To access to the driver you will first need to create the Windows NT SSD diskettes. These diskettes contain the latest operating system software, drivers, and support documentation for all Compaq equipment supported by Windows NT. To create the diskettes: 1. Boot the server from the Compaq SmartStart and Support Software CD.
