Quick Windows NT/Windows 2000 Driver Installation

To load the

SYM_U3.SYS

miniport driver during a new Windows NT or

Windows 2000 system installation, you can boot directly from the
Microsoft installation CD-ROM. The Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000
drivers are not interchangeable, however the instructions are very similar.

To install a new Windows NT or Windows 2000 operating system and its
appropriate device driver, follow these steps:

Step 1.

Have the Windows NT driver diskette or Windows 2000 driver
diskette available for inserting into the A: drive when prompted.

Step 2.

Boot the computer from the Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 or
Windows 2000 CD-ROM.

Step 3.

Press the F6 key when the words

Setup is inspecting your

computer's hardware configuration

appear, or when

prompted by Windows 2000 for nonsupported drivers.

Important:

You must press the F6 key for the new driver to be
recognized. Otherwise, the system does not recognize the
devices controlled by the driver during the Windows setup.

Step 4.

Follow the instructions until a screen displaying the words

Setup could not determine the type of one or more mass

storage device…

appears.

Step 5.

Choose S to Specify Additional Devices.

Step 6.

Follow the prompts and insert the Windows NT Driver Diskette
or Windows 2000 Driver Diskette when prompted.

Step 7.

Follow the Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000
installation procedure to complete the installation. Microsoft
provides documentation with their installation CD-ROM.

Step 8.

Install the Windows NT 4.0 Service Packs 5 or higher after
Windows NT 4.0 has been installed.

Note:

Refer to the PCI Storage Device Management System
SDMS 4.0 User’s Guide
for device driver installation
instructions that fully support Windows, UNIX, and Netware
operating systems.
