Using Maintenance Modes to Perform System Resets Should access to the server be lost, the Snap Server's maintenance mode functions can be used to reset server settings and re-establish connectivity. On Snap Servers 4200, 4500, 15000, and 18000, the maintenance mode screens may appear after you try to connect to the server when the GuardianOS has been compromised or the server's boot process has been interrupted, and as a result access to the server using the Administration Tool is not possible. On the Snap Server 14000, all maintenance modes are available from the LCD. The six maintenance modes are as follows: Mode Description 1 Clears the IP address stored on the network, resets the server to use DHCP, and resets speed/duplex settings to autonegotiate. 2 Returns the admin and root passwords to the default values Chapter 10 Troubleshooting Snap Servers 93
