The version of Windows NT distributed with this product is intended to be installed and run on a NUMA-Q 1000 MQuad.
Windows NT is pre-loaded at the factory, and customized at the user site. The instructions in Chapter 2 supersede the section Completing a Factory Installation on MQuads in the Installing Windows NT manual.
The Windows NT installation refers to Microsoft Service Pack 3. Service Pack 5 has now been approved for the NUMA-Q 1000s running Windows NT 4.0.
If you are re-installing Windows NT, when you get to the point in the installation to install the Service Pack, follow these instructions:
Skip the installation of Service Pack 3 by choosing Exit. Ignore the message boxes about installation being incomplete.
Insert the Service Pack 5 CD. This should autorun by displaying a page in Internet Explorer. If it does not, select the CD drive from the My Computer window.
Click on the Install Service Pack 5 line to initiate installation.
Answer the questions raised by the service pack installation process: choose Open on Confirm File Open, choose to accept the license agreement, choose to not create a uninstall directory, then choose Install. We recommend NOT creating an uninstall directory because NUMA-Q 1000 systems should always be at the Service Pack 5 level.
Do not choose to reboot yet. Instead, insert the diskette containing the \Sequent directory in the floppy drive.
Using My Computer, open the floppy drive icon and drag the \Sequent folder to the C: drive to copy it.
After the copy completes, open the C: drive icon, open the \Sequent folder, and double-click on QmiInst to install the QMI driver and QMI service.
Now remove the CD-ROM and choose OK in the service pack dialog box to reboot.
Log on as Administrator again. You will be reminded to install Internet Explorer and Data Access Components 2.0 from the Service Pack 5 CD to become fully year 2000 compliant. Click OK.
The Enterprise Edition Installer should start automatically with a message about memory size. Click OK.
Exit the Enterprise Edition Installer and re-boot the system one more time. This will allow you to access all of the installed memory.
The post-installation process (see below) includes additional Service Pack and Enterprise Edition components so you can skip those for now. Simply exit the Enterprise Edition Installer if it starts.
