DAS Factory Reset
Important
The factory reset function is a last resort function, only to be used if the DAS has undergone a critical failure
and will not power up or reboot.
Warning
Under no circumstances should the DAS be powered off during the factory reset function as this could result
in a catastrophic disk failure and the DAS will have to be returned to the manufacturer.
Please ensure that the DAS is fully powered with no chance of the power disengaging during the factory
reset procedure.
Do not power the DAS off until the factory reset has fully finished.
Once the factory reset function is activated, all user data (play lists etc..) will be lost, as a full disk format will
be undertaken followed by a full software re-install.
It should be noted, that the users music library can be backed up (i.e. exported) up to USB or network
storage via the XBMC music settings menu and re-imported after factory reset in the same way. To avoid
disappointment as with any system we recommend that you make regular backups of you data and music
library. For more information see:

Initiating a Factory Reset
1. Turn the DAS OFF at the rear.
2. The reset button is mounted behind a small hole in the rear panel (see photograph of the rear panel
on page 6 “Digital Audio Server Rear Panel Explained”).
You will need to press this button using a thin object such as a cocktail stick.
3. To initiate a factory reset press and hold (for 5 seconds) the small reset button on the rear of the
DAS while turning the DAS ON.
4. Release the factory reset button 5 seconds after the DAS has been turned on. The progress can be
viewed on the HDMI connected TV.
The full factory reset procedure will take approximately 20 minutes to complete. Do not turn the DAS off or
undertake the shut down procedure until the full factory reset has finished and the usual DAS home / start
screen has loaded.
