Existing System Installation
This procedure installs the SYMC8XX.SYS driver onto an existing Windows NT
system.
NOTE: Windows NT 4.x uses the Windows 95 user interface, resulting in mi-
nor changes to the procedure for updating SCSI drivers. Procedures for both
NT 3.5x and NT 4.x are listed.
Windows NT 3.5x
1. Boot NT and log on as Administrator.
2. Open the Main window in the Program Manager.
3. Double-click on Windows NT Setup.
4. Choose Options, then choose Add/Remove SCSI Adapters.... If
NCRSDMS.SYS, NCRC810.SYS, NCRC8XX.SYS, or SYMC8XX.SYS driv-
ers are listed, select the driver(s) and choose Remove before adding the new
driver. Select OK when the Setup Message prompts, “Are you sure you want
to remove the selected SCSI Adapter?”
5. Then choose Add, and select OK when the Setup Message prompts, “Are you
sure you want to add a SCSI Adapter?”
6. On the SCSI Adapter list, go to the bottom and choose Other.
7. When prompted, insert your Symbios Driver diskette. For the path to the files,
leave a:\ and select OK.
8. On the Select OEM Option menu, the Miniport driver, Symbios Logic PCI
(53c8XX), is shown highlighted. If it is not highlighted, select it. Choose OK.
9. On the Select SCSI Adapter Option menu, choose Install with the SYMBIOS
LOGIC Inc. PCI (53c8XX) driver highlighted.
At this point, the following message may occur:
“The driver(s) for this SCSI Adapter are already on the system. Do you want
to use the currently installed driver(s) or install new one(s)?” Selecting Cur-
rent uses the driver already on the system, and selecting New uses the driver
on the floppy disk. Unless you want to use the older version already on the
system, choose New. If you chose Current, go to step 11.
10. For the path to the OEM SCSI Adapter files, leave a:\ and select Continue.
11. A series of Setup Messages are displayed giving you the option of enabling
the Ultra SCSI (Fast 20), the PCI Cache Line, and the Prefetch support op-
tions. To enable any of these options, choose OK in the particular Setup
Message window. To leave a particular one disabled, choose Cancel.
12. On the SCSI Adapter Setup menu, choose Close.
13. Rebooting loads your new Miniport driver.
