Appendix A: Resetting to Factory Defaults
You can reset the non-volatile RAM that stores all configurable options. This clears all administrator-editable fields
and resets all command line configurable options to their default values, including all user accounts.
You can reset the unit to factory defaults from the command line or the web interface, or by pressing the reset button.
You must have administrator-level privileges to issue the command. Using the reset button may be necessary when a
forgotten password prevents administrator login. Each of the methods updates the current working configuration to
the factory defaults.
To reset to factory defaults
NOTE: Resetting the unit resets all TCP/IP and Telnet/Web configurations. Reconfiguring the TCP/IP and Telnet/web settings will be
required.
From the Web interface
On the Restart page in the Tools section of the Web interface, select Restart and reset to factory defaults from the
drop-down menu and click Apply.
From the command line
At the Switched CDU: prompt, type restart factory and press Enter.
Using the reset button
Locate the recessed reset button directly beside the Serial & Ethernet ports. You will need a non-conductive, non-
metallic tool that fits inside the recess.
NOTE: This method will not work if you disable the Reset button.
Insert the tool in the recess, then depress and hold the reset button for at least ten seconds.
NOTE: If you press and hold the Reset button for more than 15 seconds, the reset will terminate.
