Use the applicator to press and hold the pinhole in the Power/Reset button for more than 10 seconds. Pressing the Power/Reset button momentarily causes the appliance to reboot, but does not reimage the appliance.
As soon as you see the Active LED flashing, release the pinhole. The Active LED flashes with 5 - 10 second interval to indicate that the reimage process has started and is in progress. If an HPE Synergy console is connected, you can see the progress on it during the reimage process.
