Configuring the System Drive Using
Windows Setup
After you recover the Windows operating system, several system parameters are set
including a system Disk Check. The system restarts, and you are prompted to enter the
Windows activation key. This number is on the Windows Certificate located on the right-side
of the server top cover. You need this Windows certificate number in the following
procedure.
To set up the Windows operating system:
1. (If removed) Reconnect all the network Ethernet cables.
2. When the Product Key screen opens, type the Product Key from the Certificate of
Authenticity in the Product Key text box. The certificate is on the top of the server.
c
The Product Key Authenticity is verified with Microsoft through an Internet
connection. If you do not have the Avid AS3000 connected to the internet, you need to
phone in your Product Key and get an Authenticity number back from Microsoft. The
phone number appears on the screen.
The Windows Setup utility starts, and the a dialog box opens showing the License
Agreement screen. The Setup utility will be specific to the version of Windows you are
using.
