After the SCSI driver is installed, press S again and use the UP and
DOWN arrow keys to select the driver "IDE CD-ROM (ATAPI 1.2)/Dual-
channel PCI IDE Controller." Press Enter to install. This driver supports
the IDE CD-ROM drive bundled in your HP NetServer E 30, and other
connected IDE hard drives.
Repeat step 5. Select the "Hewlett-Packard Disk Array Driver" if your
system has the HP Disk Array Controller. Press Enter to install.
NOTE
HP recommends that you install the driver for the booting
controller first. The driver installation sequence above
assumes that the boot drive is attached to the bundled
SCSI controller.
8. Continue with the Windows NT Installation. Refer to the Microsoft
Windows NT Installation Guide for additional information. When the
system asks you to remove the diskette from drive A: and press ENTER to
continue, make sure to remove the Windows NT 4.0 CD-ROM from the
CD-ROM drive first. It is okay to continue the installation without the CD-
ROM in the drive. Windows NT will prompt for it later. When you insert the
CD-ROM, wait 10 seconds for the spin-up time before hitting OK to
continue with the installation.
NOTE
If the boot drive is new or has just been initialized,
Windows NT may hang while booting from the hard drive.
Please see the troubleshooting section for a solution.
9. During the Network Installation, the automatic Network Adapter detection
may not detect the Network Adapter in your NetServer. You need to
manual select the Network Adapter type from the list. The bundled
Network Adapter in your NetServer is either the Hewlett-Packard
DeskDirect J2970A or J2973A.
You can determine which version of the HP DeskDirect Adapter is installed
in the NetServer by looking at the Adapter' s back panel. The J2970A has a
10BaseT and a 10Base2 connectors on the back panel. The J2973A has
only a 10BaseT connector. You can also look for the Adapter model
number on the card itself.
Upgrading to Windows NT 4.0
Follow the instructions from the section "Installing Windows NT 4.0." Make sure to
select the upgrade option.

Section 3. Troubleshooting

1. If the boot drive is new or just initialized, Windows NT may give a warning
message about disk drives having more than 1024 cylinders during the first
reboot from the hard drive. Windows NT may hang just after the SCSI BIOS
or Disk Array BIOS banner.
