DESCRIPTION:  This SoftPaq creates two files -- a description file and a 
large self-extracting executable file.  The self-extracting executable file 
contains Compaq Support Software for Microsoft Windows NT 3.51 that supports 
the subsystems and features listed below for Compaq Professional Workstations 
and ProLiant and ProSignia Servers.
 
NOTE:  This same software is available in SoftPaq SP5047 in a form that 
creates diskettes rather than copying installation files to the hard disk.

This version primarily supports the Compaq Dual Channel Wide-Ultra 
SCSI-3 Controller and the Compaq ProLiant Storage System/U.  It has 
been tested with and supports NT Server Enterprise Edition.

Compaq Dual Channel Wide-Ultra SCSI-3 Controller 

  This controller was designed primarily as a complimentary controller for 
  high end tape solutions, like Compaq?s DLT Tape Array II and DLT Libraries; 
  it provides support for the maximum number of devices possible while only 
  taking up a single PCI slot.  It delivers exceptional system performance 
  along with two separate SCSI-3 channels.

Compaq ProLiant Storage System/U

  The Compaq ProLiant Storage System/U is Compaq's latest edition to the 
  ProLiant Storage System family.  The ProLiant Storage System/U is defined 
  as a disk storage box replacement for the original ProLiant Storage System.  
  The difference between ProLiant Storage System and ProLiant Storage System/U 
  is that this storage box supports SCSI Ultra speeds negotiation and the new 
  Ultra speed disk drives. 
  
Compaq Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) -- HALMPS.DLL

  Fixed a resource conflict with bridged PCI devices such as the SMART-2 
  Array Controller and the Netelligent Dual 10/100 TX PCI UTP on the primary 
  bus 0 of a Compaq ProLiant 3000, Compaq ProLiant 6500, or Compaq ProLiant 7000 
  in a multiprocessor environment under Windows NT 3.51.  This resource conflict 
  prevented the system from using the first bridged PCI device discovered in the 
  primary PCI bus in SSD 1.25 Rev A and earlier.

Compaq System Management Driver (SYSMGMT.SYS)

  Changed the policy for stopping at the F1 prompt for systems equipped with 
  the Integrated Management Log.  These systems will no longer stop at the F1 
  prompt on the next boot after the system encounters one or more critical errors.
 
HOW TO USE:

1. Download the SoftPaq to a directory on your hard drive and change 
to that directory.  The file that is downloaded is a self-extracting
executable with a filename based on the SoftPaq Number above.

2. From that drive and directory, execute the downloaded file 
and follow the on-screen instructions to unpack the files.
The number of files to be created and total file size is displayed.
You will be given the chance to specify the target directory for 
the files, or default to the download directory.
The following files will be created:
       README.TXT
       NTSSD.EXE

3. After the files have been created, you may delete the  
self-extracting file downloaded in step 1.

4. From the directory in which the files are created, execute the 
self-extracting executable:
       NTSSD.EXE [ENTER]

5. Follow the instructions on the screen to extract (unzip) the support 
software files to a folder on your hard drive and run the program 
SETUP.EXE to install the software.
