Install Gigabit Ethernet adapters on Windows NT 4.0
If you have Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 already installed and you are adding a new
Gigabit Ethernet
adapter be aware that you need to install Service Pack 4 or later.
If you do not have Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 installed and are here because you a
re about to run the
INSWNTSVR command carefully read the following instructions.
Any type of new installation of the Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Server when using t
he Gigabit Ethernet
Adapters (Feature Codes 2760 or 2743) requires the following additional steps to
be carefully followed:
1. Have Microsoft Service Pack 4.0 or later
2. Locate in the Service Pack the file NDIS.SYS. Rename the file to NDIS.SY_ (No
te the underscore
requirement when renaming).
3. Install the renamed NDIS.SY_ to the following directory of the OS/400 Integra
ted File System
?/QIBM/ProdData/NTAP/Install/Image/Option01/I386? prior to issueing the INSWNTSV
R command. This
Windows server on iSeries 77
can be done using Windows Explorer from a seperate PC, FTP (binary is required)
or OS/400 CPY
command from CD-ROM using the /QOPT file system.
4. When Install Command completes, you should remove the NDIS.SY_ from the IFS d
irectory.

install will not be allowed until the required NDIS.SY_ file is found on the lis
ted directory. The following
Messages will result when failing to follow the above steps. If the INSWNTSVR co
