RESETTING THE SERVER

data in process. To reset the server when it is not frozen, make sure
that no processing is in progress.

Hard reset

Press the RESET switch at the front of the server.

Soft reset

If the server halts before starting the OS, press and hold

Ctrl

and

Alt

and press

Delete

This restarts the server.
