Resetting the HPE Synergy appliance to original factory settings

About factory reset

A factory reset restores the appliance module to the original factory settings. It does not change the installed firmware version.
Use the factory reset operation for either of these reasons:
• To decommission the appliance module so that you can migrate the hardware.
When decommissioning the appliance module, perform the factory reset without preserving the network settings and logs.
If the HPE Synergy appliance module is not highly available, you must reset the frame link module from the front panel
