STEP 2:
1. Launch MT Security Settings from Windows Start>Control Panel>MT Security Setting and
enter your Pyramix v9 Keys (v8 keys are only valid for the duration of the V9 beta cycle)
2. MassCore users must make sure that they have a valid MassCore-64 bit key and the RTX 64
Activation key. Make sure that those are entered in the MT Security Settings.
3. MassCore users must install the new MassCore RTX 64bit version from the MT Security
Panel under the MassCore Tab. We recommend that your system is connected to the internet
for the RTX64 automatic activation process.

Note: If you get a VS3 error the first time you launch Pyramix, please relaunch Pyramix.
RECOMENDATIONS:
MassCore:
 Under Windows 7 – 32bit make sure that your system is configured with the HyperThreading
disabled, otherwise MassCore cannot be installed. Refer to Pyramix v9 Installation Guide for
all details as some specific BIOS settings are recommended. Only MassCore RTX -64 bit users
can run with Hyperthreading enabled, this is so since v9.0Beta2 >. By default 2 Cores will be
assigned to MassCore, as we leave a pair number of Cores for Windows. Merging
recommends Hyperthreading users to run with the MassCore SMP key.
 Reboot your system and make sure that you select the “MassCore” boot entry line at
Windows Start Up. If you do not select the MassCore boot line you could end up with an RTX
blue screen.
 Users running MassCore 64bit will not be able to move their license to another system unless
making this demand through the Interval Zero (RTX) Support IntervalZero Support site
This is so because the MassCore/RTX 64bit keys are now linked to the system.
A solution exists for users who would which to have their MassCore/RTX 64bit keys on a
second Dongle, instead of having it linked to a unique system. Please contact Merging if this
is what you’d desire.
 Do not un-install MassCore/RTX64 bit as this will void your current RTX 64bit key. The key
relocation in such case will have to issue by Interval Zero.
RAVENNA:
Refer to the Merging RAVENNA Guide for all details.
 Disabling Windows Firewall is recommended (no internet connection recommended)
 Merging recommends setting the Merging MassCore NIC Ethernet card and Horus to Auto IP
addressing
 Enable RAVENNA mode from the VS3 Control Panel (NOTE: the Merging Interface must be
connected)
 We recommend the installation of the Google Chrome browser for Horus remote access
 Use “Easy Connect” (installed with Pyramix v9) to manage the RAVENNA connection
 Users can now connect multiple Horus’s through the Merging certified Dell network switch.
Refer to the Merging RAVENNA MassCore guide for all details and configuration.
