Overview

INI-9090U

will support Windows NT v3.5x/4.0 with the addition of a software driver. A

software driver allows the host computer the ability to transfer data over the SCSI bus.

The device driver for Windows NT is copied from the Initio driver installation diskette to

your hard drive where it is loaded onto the computing system during installation.

The following files are used for installation and may be found on the

INI-9XXXU/

9XXXUW DRIVER DISK 1

:

\WINNT\INI910U.SYS

INI-9XXX SCSI Host Adapter Windows-NT miniport driver.

\WINNT\TXTSETUP.OEM

Script file for installing INI910U.SYS during the text setup phase.

\WINNT\OEMSETUP.INF

Script file for installing INI910U.SYS during the windows phase.

Installation

The INI-9XXX driver developed for Windows NT will be installed on the hard drive used

for system initialization. The driver is loaded during the system boot routine and will

remain resident on the drive. This is accomplished by following one of the two installa-

tion procedures listed:

• New Windows NT installation

• Adding or updating the INI-9XXX Host Adapter Driver to an existing Windows NT

System

The procedures described to make changes to the system have distinct differences. It

is strongly suggested that the selected procedure be read and understood before

proceeding with the system configuration changes. Please read the instructions

carefully.

New Windows NT Installation

These instructions will guide you through the installation of the Initio host adapter

driver while installing Windows NT 4.0. Windows NT will be installed from either floppy

diskettes or CD-ROM. The Windows NT driver is located on the

INI-9XXXU/9XXXUW

DRIVER DISK 1

. It is important that the hardware has been installed successfully

before proceeding further.

1 If you are installing Windows NT from floppy diskettes, locate the Windows NT

Disk 1 for Floppy Installation. Make a backup copy of this diskette before installa-

tion.
