5 Product Recovery
This chapter describes the procedures to recover the system image originally installed on
your AS3000 system drive by reinstalling the Windows operating system and Avid specific
additions and changes.
This chapter covers the following topics:
• Locating the recovery image
• If necessary, copy the recovery image to the 16 GB USB flash drive that ships with your
AS3000
• Instructions on how to use the recovery image to restore the Windows operating system
and hardware drivers that ship with your AS3000
The recovery procedure restores only the Windows operating system and the hardware
drivers. It does not restore the Avid application software. The Avid software must be
reinstalled separately, after the operating system recovery is complete. The version number
of the image can be found in the
C:\IMAGE.TXT file on the root directory of the system
drive.
You might need to reinstall the Windows operating system on your server if you are directed
to do so by Avid Customer Support or if you are initializing a new drive. Perform an
installation to the entire system (C:, D:, and E:). This replaces all the data from all the
available partitions on your system drive. You can perform this operation if you are
initializing your system drive.

After reimaging the server, the Administrator password is set to is-admin.
