Microsoft Windows NT Installation

Swapping a Host Adapter

Swapping a 7800 Family host adapter for a non-7800 Family host adapter is

similar to the procedure for adding a host adapter. The important distinction

is that you make all software configuration changes while Windows NT is

running and before you make the hardware changes.

Note:

If you do not install the driver that comes with the new

host adapter, it may result in a Windows NT boot failure.

To swap adapters, follow these steps:

Install the driver for the 7800 Family host adapter by following the

steps in Installing the Driver When Windows NT is Already Installed

on page 2-5.

It is not essential to remove the device driver for the host adapter you

are replacing. Windows NT dynamically detects the absence or

presence of host adapter hardware, and no problems should arise if

you leave the existing device driver installed. You may remove the

device driver later, after you have successfully rebooted Windows

NT. However, if you leave the driver installed, the system alerts you

with an error message of the extra device driver every time you boot.

See Removing a Host Adapter on page 2-12.

Once the new device driver is installed, shut down Windows NT and

replace the existing host adapter with the 7800 Family host adapter.

Restart your computer and Windows NT. It is possible that some

drive letter assignments may change from the previous configuration.
