INSTALLATION STEPS FOR Windows NT **

 1. Prepare the hard disk drives of your server according to instructions in
    Windows NT manual.
 2. Boot with the Windows NT Setup diskette.
 3. Select "Custom Setup" in the "Windows NT Setup" screen.
 4. At this point of the installation program scans the system for
    SCSI controllers installed in the system. Once this scan is complete,
    select "S" to "Configure Additional SCSI Adapters".
 5. Select Others from the list of SCSI adapters.
 6. When prompted to insert "Manufacturer-supplied support disk" insert
    IBM RAID Controller support diskette into drive A:
 7. Select "IBM RAID Controller" and press Enter.
 8. Continue with normal installation process according to instructions
    in Windows NT manual.

    NOTE - When installing onto a logical drive whose write policy
           is set to write-back (WB), wait for 10 seconds after being
           prompted to press Ctrl+Alt+Del before actually pressing these
           keys. This gives the RAID Controller enough time to flush out
           all dirty cache pages to hard disk.

 9. After successful installation copy RAIDADMN.EXE to \winnt\system32
    directory.
10. The RAID administration can be started by entering

              RAIDADMN [/lf=d:\path\logfile]

     at any command prompt.
              Where logfile is the file name where RAIDADMN message will be
     logged. If /lf is omitted, a default logfile IBMRAID.LOG is created in the
     \winnt subdirectory if one exists. When /lf switch is used make sure that
     the drive d: and path \path exists. RAIDADMN will not create a
     subdirectory if one does not exist.

     You can define a RAID icon by selecting the file option in the Program
     Manager option. Select New... from the menu and select Program Item
     from New Program Object Menu. In the Program Item Properties memu
     enter the following:

         o Description: RAID
         o Command Line: c:\winnt\system32\raidadmn.exe [/lf=d:\path\logfile]
         o Working Directory: c:\winnt\system32
