6.4. Installing and Configuring Windows NT Server
4.0
The Windows NT Server 4.0 installation process consists of an installation phase (6.4.1) in
which prompts appear as text messages and a configuration phase (6.4.2) in which
prompts are presented as graphical screens. The following subsections describe the steps
to take during each phase.
Notes:
• Switch the monitor concentrator to the Intel node position before beginning (see
2.5.2).
• Configuration settings are chosen to minimize problems during initial installation.
After hardware RFU, sites may wish to customize the configuration to meet their
needs.
