Installing Your SYMC8XX.SYS Driver
Preparing a Symbios Driver Diskette
Copy the files listed below (supplied to you on diskette) to the root directory of a
clean floppy diskette, and use this Symbios Driver diskette during installation:
SYMC8XX.SYS
SYMC8XX.TAG
OEMSETUP.INF
TXTSETUP.OEM
New System Installation
This procedure installs the SYMC8XX.SYS driver onto a Windows NT system. Use
this procedure when installing NT onto an unused SCSI drive. NT automatically
adds the driver to the registry and copies the driver to the appropriate directories.
1. Start the NT installation by booting off the Microsoft Setup floppy disk.
2. Press Enter when the Welcome to Setup screen appears.
3. On the Setup Method screen, choose Custom Setup by pressing C. (If Express
Setup is chosen, the installation program scans for SCSI adapters and finds the
Symbios Logic PCI (53C810) driver NCRC810.SYS, which is an older ver-
sion of the SYMC8XX.SYS driver. Let installation continue. When installa-
tion completes, change the driver. To change the driver, see the “Existing
System Installation” section.)
4. Press S to skip mass storage device detection.
(If Enter is pressed, the installation program scans for SCSI adapters and finds
the Symbios Logic PCI (53C810) driver NCRC810.SYS, which is an older
version of the SYMC8XX.SYS driver. Let installation continue. When instal-
lation completes, change the driver. To change the driver, see the “Existing
System Installation” section.)
5. When a screen displays the SCSI adapters found, choose S to configure addi-
tional SCSI adapters.
6. Move the highlight bar to Other and press Enter.
7. When prompted for Manufacturer-supplied hardware support disk, insert your
Symbios Driver diskette and press Enter.
8. The Symbios Logic PCI (53C8XX) Miniport driver, Symbios Logic PCI
<53c8XX>, is shown highlighted. Press Enter to proceed.
9. NT should now recognize the Miniport driver and the SCSI hardware. Press
Enter to continue.
At this point, simply follow the Microsoft Windows NT installation procedure.
NOTE: For a new system installation, the Symbios Logic PCI (53C8XX)
Miniport driver defaults to Ultra SCSI (Fast 20) support, PCI Cache Line
support, and Prefetch support turned OFF. To enable these options, see En-
abling/Disabling Support Options below.
