This topic provides information on how to use the USB Flash Drive (UFD) provided to
install a factory OS image in the event of a catastrophic failure, or as directed by Avid
Customer Support. After performing this procedure, the system will have a factory OS. You
will need to install the AirSpeed Multi Stream application, and reconfigure the software
settings. For more information, see

Prerequisites
Since restoring your drive image deletes all of your database names, user names, IP

• user names (and passwords)
• database names
• IP addresses
• configuration settings
