Restoring the PDU to Factory Default Settings

If you need to correct a configuration error, or you want to clear the PDU before moving it to a different rack, you can restore the PDU metering unit back to its factory settings.

NOTE:
After restoring the unit, all network and configuration settings reset back to their default values (for example, admin is the only user and the IP address returns to 0.0.0.0 with DHCP enabled). All settings that you set for your environment are lost.

You can restore the PDU to factory default settings using the two red buttons on the LCD.

1. Press and hold the buttons for 10 seconds until you see a five-second countdown displayed on the LCD screen.
2. During the five-second countdown, release the buttons and then press and hold the buttons.
The countdown continues.

3. At the end of the five-second countdown, a ten-second countdown starts, prompting you to hold the buttons until it completes.
4. At the end of the ten-second countdown, a second five-second countdown is displayed on the LCD screen.
5. During the second five-second countdown, release the buttons and then tap the buttons again to force the PDU to reset to factory defaults.
