If you did not receive your system with the operating system preinstalled, you must 
install Windows NT Server, Enterprise Edition on the internal hard-disk drives of both 
nodes in the cluster. Refer to the 

Microsoft Windows NT Server, Enterprise Edition 

Administrator’s Guide for instructions on installing the Windows NT Server, Enterprise 
Edition operating system.

NOTE: Windows NT Server, Enterprise Edition must be installed on and run from the 
internal hard-disk drives on the nodes. You cannot run the Windows NT operating sys-
tem on the shared storage subsystem.

Refer to Chapter 3, “Configuring the Cluster Software,” in this guide for information 
specific to configuring Windows NT Server, Enterprise Edition on your PowerEdge 
Cluster FE100.

For Dell OpenManage ATF and Microsoft Cluster Server to function properly in the 
PowerEdge Cluster FE100, you must install the latest Windows NT Service Pack. 

If you are using Windows NT Service Pack 3, you must apply two hotfixes to both 
nodes. Apply the post-Service Pack 3 SCSI hotfix scsifixi.exe before you install Dell 
OpenManage ATF. Download the scsifixi.exe hotfix from the following FTP site:

NOTE: If you are installing Windows NT Service Pack 4, you do not need to install the 
hotfixes; the hotfixes are integrated into the service pack.
