Move Provider Configuration on an AS3000
This topic describes how to set up the hardware for a Move Provider on an AS3000 server.
The AS3000 has two PCIe slots and both support the Myricom cards. The appropriate drivers are
pre-loaded onto the AS3000 image for Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. The Move Provider only requires
one Myricom card. You can install it in either slot.
To install the Myricom card:
1. Install the card in the either of the two PCIe slots as described in the AS3000 Setup Guide.
For convenience, use the bottom slot.
2. Reconnect and restart the system. The system automatically recognizes the Myricom card
because the drivers are pre installed on the Windows 7 Pro recovery image.
For an illustration shows that shows the Myricom card in the Windows Device Manager, see
“Copy Provider Configuration on an AS3000” on page 143.
If you find it necessary to locate the Myricom drivers, the Myricom drivers folder is located
in the following location:
C:\Installables\drivers\nic
Using a 1Gb Onboard NIC on the Move Provider
When using a 1 Gb onboard NIC on the Move Provider, connect one of the Pro/1000 PT ports
labeled 2 or 4 on the Move Provider directly into any 1 Gb port on the Avid ISIS Engines. Avid
does not recommend using the onboard NICs because performance is better using the Myricom
cards.
