The Windows NT delivery media contain software and drivers for both Reduced Instruction
Set Computing (RISC)- and Intel-based systems. When installing Windows NT distribution
files, make sure to install them from the \i

386 directory (the Intel software directory) on the

delivery media. For example, if you are installing a device driver from the Windows NT
CD-ROM, key in the following when asked for the path to the file, where drive is the drive

Going Through Operating System Setup

The first time you start the system, it boots to an End-User License Agreement screen. After
reviewing and accepting the terms of the agreement, follow the instructions to continue
operating system Setup. Take the default settings provided by Setup, except as noted in the
following text. You can set up a user account and join a workgroup or domain after you
configure the video display, the sound processor, and networking.

On a system running Windows NT or Windows 95:

u

Allow Setup to configure the network only if the system has an installed network
adapter, and only if the system is connected to the network.

u

When prompted to create an Emergency Repair Disk (Windows NT) or a Startup
diskette (Windows 95), do so.

u

If you do not set up a user account during Setup, press ENTER or select OK at the logon
dialog to log on to the operating system.

On a system running Windows NT:

u

On a system shipped from the factory without a CD-ROM drive, the system’s hard disk
drive contains Windows NT Setup files in the
network or video display adapter drivers, you can see the i
for the location of Windows NT Setup files. If you delete the i

C:\i386 directory. When installing

386 directory when prompted

386 directory from the

system’s hard disk, you must have access to a Windows NT CD-ROM to use Windows
NT Setup files.

On a system running Windows 95:

u

While Windows 95 files are being copied to the system, you are prompted for the
Windows 95 Setup boot diskette. This occurs even if the Windows 95 Setup boot
diskette is already inserted in the floppy disk drive. Select OK to continue.

Next, you are notified that a CD-ROM driver file (such as MTMCDAI.SYS or

TAISATAP.SYS) could not be found on the windows 95 setup boot diskette. In the dialog

that displays, specify that the file should be copied from a:\, and then select OK.

u

The system’s hard disk drive contains Windows 95 Setup files in the

C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\CABS directory, as compressed .CAB files. When installing

network or video display adapter drivers, you can see the
for the location of Windows 95 Setup files. If you delete the
system’s hard disk, you must have access to a Windows 95 CD-ROM to use Windows 95
Setup files.

For more information on operating system Setup, and on using the interface features of the
operating system, see the operating system documentation and Help.

Finishing System Setup

After operating system Setup is completed, an InterSite Welcome icon (“Press to finish
setup”) displays on the operating system desktop. Double-click this icon, or select
Programs/InterSite/Welcome from the Start menu, to display InterSite Welcome.

CABS directory when prompted

CABS directory from the

InterSite Welcome helps you do the following:

u

Create a repair disk for the operating system.

u

Create backup diskettes of device driver software and other system software products.

u

Display an online System Introduction for your system.

u

Learn about Intergraph Computer Systems customer support.

You should take advantage of the tools provided by InterSite Welcome to ensure that your
system is fully ready for use. See InterSite Welcome for more information. Also see the
following sections for information on creating a repair disk and creating backup diskettes.

Creating a Repair Disk

If you did not create an Emergency Repair Disk (Windows NT) or a Startup diskette
(Windows 95) during Setup, use the tools provided by InterSite Welcome to do so. The files
on these diskettes can restore the original contents of a damaged operating system Registry
(that is, at the time the operating system was installed), along with the standard operating
system drivers. You should also update an Emergency Repair Disk or a Startup diskette after
you finish configuring the system.

See the operating system documentation and Help for information on creating an Emergency
Repair Disk or a Startup diskette.

Creating System Software Backup Diskettes

Backup diskettes for some device driver software and system software products are not
delivered with the system. Use InterSite Version Manager, available through InterSite
Welcome, to create system software backup diskettes.

Version Manager lets you create backup diskettes containing device driver software and
system software products that were installed on the system before shipment, and which are
not available on the operating system CD-ROM. You may need these backup diskettes later

-- for example, if you have to reinstall a device driver or the operating system.

WARNING You must create system software backup diskettes after you set up the system

hardware and complete the operating system Setup program. If you do not do this,
you may not be able to reinstall critical system software or the operating system if
needed.

NOTE You may not have to create backup diskettes for all system software. If Version Manager

does not list drivers or other system software products, they are available on the operating
system software CD-ROM or on backup diskettes delivered with expansion cards.

If the system requires Quick-Fix Engineering (QFE) update software, it is included in the
system software available for backup diskette creation. QFE update software contains fixes
for operating system problems or limitations, and is only shipped with the system if it is
needed. If QFE update software is shipped with the system, you should create a QFE backup
diskette for use if you have to reinstall the operating system.

See Version Manager Help for information on creating system software backup diskettes.
Visit the Intergraph Computer Systems site on the World Wide Web and vendor bulletin
boards for new and updated drivers.
