Resetting to factory defaults using G-Key reset
High-privileged or stand-alone users can reset the thin client to factory default settings using the G-key reset feature.
To reset the thin client to factory default settings, restart the thin client and continuously tap the G key during the restart
process. G-key reset impacts all configuration items, including, but not limited to, both network configuration and connections
defined in local NV-RAM.
NOTE: G-key reset is disabled for Low-privileged and Non-privileged users in Lock down mode.
Resetting to factory defaults using shutdown reset
A high-privileged or stand-alone user can reset the thin client to factory default settings from the Shutdown dialog box.
To reset the thin client to factory defaults:
1. From the desktop menu, click Shutdown.
The Shutdown dialog box is displayed.
2. After starting your thin client you will see a Dell logo for a short period of time.
3. Click Restart the system to restart your thin client.
4. Select the Reset the system setting to factory default check box to restore your system settings to default factory
settings.
5. Click OK to save the settings.
Shutdown reset impacts all configuration items, including, but not limited to network configuration and connections defined
in local NV-RAM. However, the terminal name will not be changed.
NOTE:
Shutdown reset is disabled for Low-privileged and Non-privileged users, regardless of lock down state.
Resetting display settings using V-Key reset
If the display settings are inappropriate for the particular monitor that is connected, it is possible that the display will not
function properly when the thin client restarts. To correct this, power-on the thin client while continuously tapping the V key.
This will restart the thin client with a default/automatic display resolution.
