Dell PowerEdge 2500SC - Manual (Page 11)

This section provides the information that you need to install and use the Dell SCSI drivers for the 78x x series of SCSI controllers with Windows NT.
The Windows NT 4.0 driver diskette that you create for the Microsoft Windows NT Server operating system contains the files that you need for driver installation. The
scsi subdirectory on the diskette contains the following files to be used with Windows NT:
l adpu160m.sys — Adaptec's 7899 Ultra 160/m driver for Windows NT
l oemsetup.inf — A file used by Windows NT Setup for driver installation
l readme.txt — A text file describing the Adaptec 78x x driver for Windows NT
If you are installing Windows NT for the first time, see "Installing Windows NT and the Driver for the First Time" to begin driver installation. If Windows NT is already
installed in your system, see "Using Windows NT to Install or Update the Driver."
Installing Windows NT and the Driver for the First Time
Windows NT 4.0 has SCSI drivers for the Adaptec 78x x series (excluding the Adaptec 7899) of SCSI controllers integrated into the operating system.
When you load the operating system software, the drivers are automatically loaded. However, Dell recommends that you update the adpu160m.sys driver by using the
diskette of drivers that you created from the Dell OpenManage Server Assistant CD. To install or update the adpu160m.sys driver for Windows NT 4.0, see the
next subsection.
Using Windows NT to Install or Update the Driver
This section describes how to install or update the adpu160m.sys driver if Windows NT is already installed. If you are installing Windows NT for the first time, see
"Installing Windows NT and the Driver for the First Time."
Perform the following steps only if Windows NT 4.0 is already installed:
1. Click the Start button, point to Settings, and click Control Panel.
2. Double-click the SCSI Adapters icon.
3. Click the Driver tab and then click Add.
4. Click Have Disk.
5. Insert the Windows NT 4.0 driver diskette that you created into drive A.
6. In the Copy Manufacturer's Files From: field, type a:\scsi\ and click OK.
7. Select Adaptec AIC 7892, AIC 7899, or AHA 3960D Ultra 3/m PCI SCSI Controller (NT 4.0). Then click OK.
8. If the following message appears, click New to replace the existing driver:
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).
9. If the following message appears, type a:\scsi in the dialog box and click Continue:
Please enter the full path to Adaptec's installation files.
These files are located in the \scsi directory on the Windows NT 4.0 Driver diskette.
The driver is copied from the diskette to your system.
10. Click Yes when prompted to restart the system and remove the diskette from drive A.
After the system reboots, the new driver is active. Some drive letter assignments may have changed from the previous configuration.
If you need additional assistance, see "Troubleshooting for Windows NT."
