Caution: Factory Reset does not remove data from the drives; instead it
allows the existing data to be overwritten. To insure that your data can never
be accessed, use a “shredder” program that overwrites the hard drives with
random numbers or meaningless data.
Recovering or resetting the server
Steps for performing a Server Recovery or Factory Reset.
To recover or reset the server
Important: Use the Server Recovery Disc from a computer using a wired
connection to the router (or switch). A wireless connection is not
recommended. Additionally, if the server is some distance from the computer
you are using for Server Recovery or Factory Reset, it may be more
convenient to move the server near the computer.
1 If the HP MediaSmart Server Control Center is open on your computer,
close it before proceeding.
2 Insert the Server Recovery Disc into a DVD drive in a computer connected
to the network by an Ethernet cable.
The Server Recovery program automatically starts.
