Section 2. Windows NT 4.0 Installation Guide

Before installing the Operating System, please read this section carefully.
Configuring Logical Disk Size for the Disk Array Controller
During system configuration, the Jet Set Utility on the HP NetServer Navigator CD-
ROM helps you set logical disk size in the Disk Array Configuration process. If the
boot drive is on the Disk Array Controller, set the logical disk size of the boot partition
to 2048 MB or less.
Booting from the Embedded SCSI Controller
Non-disk array systems boot from the drive with the lowest SCSI address. HP
recommends SCSI ID 0 for the boot drive. If you configure the boot drive with
another SCSI ID, your system may not boot when additional SCSI drives are
installed.

Installing Windows NT 4.0

1. Boot the HP NetServer using the HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM. Run
Configuration Assistant and follow the instructions to create a driver
diskette. The diskette is created as part of Express Configuration. You
can also create the diskette via the Custom Configuration option or the
Diskette Library. In the Diskette Library, select the diskette labeled "HP
NetServer E 30 MS-Windows NT Drivers Diskette." Label the diskette "HP
NetServer MS-Windows NT Drivers Diskette" using the label shipped with
the system. This procedure refers to this diskette as the "Drivers Diskette".
2. Boot the system using the Windows NT Setup/Boot Diskette. Important:
Do not have the Windows NT 4.0 CD-ROM in the drive while booting the
system. Otherwise, the system may display an error message "BOOT:
Couldn' t find NTLDR." If this occurs, simply remove the CD-ROM and
reboot the system.
3. Install Windows NT using the diskettes shipped in the Microsoft Windows
NT package. Follow the Windows NT installation procedures and select
Custom setup.
4. At the next screen where Windows NT would auto detect Mass Storage
Controllers, press S to "Skip SCSI drivers and Mass Storage Detection."
5. At the next screen, press S again to configure additional SCSI adapters.
The Windows NT installer displays a list of options. Select "Other
(Requires Disk provided by a hardware manufacturer)."
6. The installation program prompts you to insert the "Manufacturer-supplied
hardware support disk" into drive A. Insert the Drivers Diskette and press
enter.
7. A window displays "Adaptec AHA-2940 / AIC 78xx NT". Select this driver
and press Enter to install. This driver supports the SCSI Controller
bundled in your HP NetServer E 30 and the Adaptec 2940 Controller..
