[Reboot] Main Menu
11. Press Ctrl-Alt-Del to reboot.
The first Windows NT Setup window appears, followed by one or two reboots.
12. Once the reboot (or second reboot, if you executed step 10 above) is complete, watch
for the Windows NT Software License Agreement screen. If this screen appears, the
operating system has been preloaded.
If the operating system is preloaded, continue with 4.2. Otherwise, take the following
steps:
1. Configure the RAID controller (4.3).
2. Install the Windows NT operating system (4.4).
3. Log on to Windows NT (4.5).
4. Complete the installation (Section 7).
4.2. Steps to Take If Windows NT Is Preloaded
Take the steps below to initially configure Windows NT when it is preloaded.
Note: If you decide to perform a full installation even though the system is preloaded,
do not format the RAID disk. Instead, use the DAC BIOS utility to initialize the
RAID volume before you reload the operating system. Formatting the disk
makes the drive unrecognizable to the software.
1. Have the client, or a representative of the client, accept the license agreement. The
Windows NT Software License Agreement should still be displayed on the screen. Do
the following to accept the agreement:
a. Read the contents of the first page, then press the Page Down key to read the next
page.
b. When you have read the entire agreement, click “I agree.”
After a few seconds a Windows NT Setup screen appears.
c. Click Next to proceed.
After a few more seconds, the Windows NT Setup screen reappears, followed by a
Name and Organization screen.
