System Configuration and Setup 6-51
1.
Shut down the operating system and power off the system. Unplug the
power cord from each power supply.
2.
Remove the enclosure panels and system covers as described in Chapter 8.
3.
Remove any options that are not supported on Windows NT and replace
them with supported options.
4.
Remove the UNIX or OpenVMS operating system disk and insert the
Windows NT system disk.
5.
Plug in the power supplies and power up the system.
6.
Enter the following commands at the SRM console prompt:
P00>>> set console graphics

P00>>> init
7.
At the AlphaBIOS boot screen, start AlphaBIOS Setup (F2), select CMOS
Setup, and press Enter. Set the system date and time.
8.
In CMOS Setup, check that the setup for the floppy and other basic
parameters is accurate. Set system-specific parameters, such as the
memory test and password, in Advanced CMOS Setup as needed. Press F10
to save the changes.
9.
From the AlphaBIOS Setup screen select Utilities. In the selection box that
is displayed, choose OS Selection Setup. Make sure the selections (boot
name, boot file, and so on) are what you want. Press F10 to save any
changes.
NOTE: Adding or removing SCSI option cards as noted in step 3 may cause
the logical drive numbers to be reordered and the boot selections to
be invalid. Upon entering the OS Selection Setup screen, you will
see warning dialogs, and AlphaBIOS will attempt to set the boot
selections to the new locations.
10.
Return to the boot screen and boot Windows NT.
