Loading Application Software
The AS3000 does not have a DVD reader. Software is loaded onto the system using a USB
flash drive. The system ships with two or more USB flash drives as follows:
• One (or two in the case of the Interplay Engine) 4 GB USB flash drives loaded with the
Avid application software.
• One 16 GB USB flash drive intended to be used as a bootable USB flash drive with an
Avid Product Recovery image. For instructions on creating a bootable USB flash drive
containing the Product Recovery image, see the AS3000 Setup Guide.
In this topic the folder that contains all of the application software installation files is
referred to as the software kit.
To load the application software:
1. Log in to the AS3000 as Administrator (default password: is-admin ).
2. Make a folder for the software kit on the root directory (C:\) of the AS3000. For
example:
C:\Installers\Interplay_v2_3_Server
3. Insert the 4 GB USB flash drive (with the software kit) into any of the USB ports on the
AS3000.

You can run the software installer from the USB flash drive. The advantage of copying the
software kit to the AS3000 is that you have easy access to installer files if you should ever
need them in the future.
If the USB flash drive does not automatically display:
a. Double-click the computer icon on the desktop.
b. Double-click the USB flash drive icon to open it.
4. Copy the software kit into the new folder you created on the AS3000 system. For
example, use CTRL-A to select all the files and folders in the software kit and copy and
paste to the new folder you created.
5. Navigate to the software kit folder and double-click the Autorun.exe file.
The application installer splash screen opens.
6. Install the Avid application software as you normally would. For additional information
see the Avid Interplay Readme and the Avid Interplay Software Installation and
Configuration Guide.
