Factory Reset

Factory Reset returns the px2-300d to its original state. This feature is useful if you give your px2-300d to
someone else.
Factory Reset provides two options for returning your px2-300d to its original state:
Quickly delete all data — permanently deletes all record of existing or deleted data, users, and
●
passwords.
Securely delete all data — this option takes significantly longer, but provides an added security
●
benefit by permanently erasing all data on the drives to prevent recovery of existing or deleted
data, users, and passwords. The secure delete operation renders all data irrecoverable.
You can use the factory reset feature only to erase the drives internal to the px2-300d. You cannot
use this feature to reset any external storage devices that may be connected.
