Specifying a Unique Computer Name
Your Avid AS3000 enclosure has been imaged at Avid with the current operating system
configuration and drivers that have been qualified with the Avid AS3000 server. This image
creates a unique Host name for the system based on the MAC ID of the system board. If you
have changed this default name for the server, you need to remember to rename the server if
you ever have to reimage the server. When you re-image the system, the Host system name
is reset back to a Host name based on the MAC ID.

If changing the server computer name, you should do this before installing any additional
software.
To specify a unique computer name (by which clients identify your Avid AS3000):
1. Right-click the computer icon on the desktop, and select Properties.
The Control Panel/System dialog box opens.
2. Click Change settings.
3. In the Computer Name tab, click the Change button.
4. Type the new name of the Avid AS3000 in the Computer name text box.
5. (Option) Determine if you need to select the Domain or Workgroup in the “Workgroup”
section at the bottom of the dialog box and click Change. Contact your network
administrator for assistance.
6. Click OK.
After a short delay, you are prompted to restart your computer.
7. Click OK.
8. Close all open windows and restart the Avid AS3000 server.
Copying the Product Recovery Image to the USB
Flash Drive
Depending on your system, the product recovery image may be included on the system
drive. Avid highly recommends you copy this image to the supplied 16 GB flash drive
during the initial system setup. For instructions on how to create the product recovery USB
flash drive, see “Creating a Product Recovery USB Flash Drive” on page 59.
