Resetting the Server

During the reset process:

• It is unnecessary to power the server off and on to reset the server because a reset maintains host power but causes the processors to reinitialize.

• The server retains some register information. In case of a system host panic, error information might be available upon system recovery.

Caution:

Possible Data Loss. Resetting the server causes any unsaved data on the server to be lost.
