Because the Intel

®

82559 network adapter used in PowerEdge 1550 systems did not exist when

Windows NT Server 4.0 was released, the Windows NT Server 4.0 setup program incorrectly

identifies the integrated network adapter as based on the 82557 family network adapter and installs

the wrong driver. A fatal exception error may occur and the setup may fail if the setup program installs

the driver for the 82557 family network adapter.

To install the correct driver, allow the setup program to start the installation of network devices and

services. When the setup program displays the message ³

to choose the correct driver.

When prompted, select

to install the Intel Pro ²amily Adapter Driver that you downloaded

from the Dell support site.

Dell recommends that you install the latest Service Pack after installing Windows NT Server 4.0 and

any additional drivers. Some drivers and software may require the installation of a Service Pack before

they will install or run. Dell recommends that you re-install the Service Pack after making changes to

hardware, drivers, or system files. Always verify that the drivers provided by Dell and required for the

proper operation of your system have not been overwritten by the Service Pack.

The version of Dell OpenManage Array Manager that shipped with your PowerEdge 1550 system

recognizes the PERC 3/DCL driver for Windows 2000, but currently does not recognize the

PERC 3/DCL driver for Windows NT 4.0. If you install the Dell OpenManage Array Manager software

after installing Windows NT Server 4.0, you will receive a warning message that the

PERC 3/DCL driver for Windows NT is not supported. However, the installation is completed without

adversely affecting system function, and you can use the Dell OpenManage Array Manager software

to manage your RAID array.
