Factory Reset

Factory Reset returns the StorCenter ix2-dl to its original state. This feature is useful if you give your
StorCenter ix2-dl to someone else.
Factory Reset provides two options for returning your StorCenter ix2-dl 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.
Note: You can use the factory reset feature only to erase the drives internal to the StorCenter ix2-dl
. You cannot use this feature to reset any external storage devices that may be connected.
