Decommissioning

The EcoStruxure Panel Server is configured with sensitive and confidential information, such as user account identifiers, IP addresses, Wi-Fi passwords, and cryptographic keys.

When disposing of the EcoStruxure Panel Server, it is required to reset it to factory settings to make sure that no sensitive or confidential information can be disclosed or reused.

Resetting to Factory Settings

When following the procedure below, all data (including logs and keys) that have been stored are erased.

NOTICE
HAZARD OF IP ADDRESS CONFLICT
Disconnect the EcoStruxure Panel Server from any Ethernet networks before resetting the IP settings to factory values.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in impaired communications.

  1. Unpair all wireless devices from the EcoStruxure Panel Server.

  2. Power up the EcoStruxure Panel Server while pressing the Restart button for more than 10 seconds.
    Result: The status LED turns steady orange then blinks fast orange when the reset to factory setting is initiated.

  3. Release the button once the status LED starts to blink fast orange.

  4. Confirm or cancel reset to factory settings:
    • To confirm reset to factory settings:
      Press the button again within 5 seconds.
      Result: The status LED blinks fast green indicating that reset to factory setting is confirmed.
