Partial Clean
The 3 Partial Clean option erases all partitions and data on the disk drive, except for the firmware
repository where a backup copy of the firmware file is stored. This allows the disk drive to be
reformatted without having to download a firmware upgrade file to return the product to a bootable
state.
Characteristics of a Partial Clean
●
Customer-defined settings, third-party solutions, firmware files, and the operating system are
deleted.
●
Rebooting the product restores the firmware files from the Repository location, but does not restore
any customer-defined settings.
●
For previous HP products, a Hard Disk Initialization is similar to executing the 3 Partial Clean
function for this product.
CAUTION: HP recommends backing-up product configuration data before executing a 3 Partial
Clean, if you need to retain customer-defined settings. See the Backup/Restore item in the Device
Maintenance menu.
