4.19. Resetting the Terminal
There are three types of system resets: a Soft Reset, a Hard Reset, or a Factory Reset. The soft and
hard resets preserve all data stored in the file system.
Soft Reset (Warm Boot)
A soft reset re-boots the terminal without losing RAM data, terminates all running applications,
reloads the OS, and launches Autoinstall, which re-initializes any CAB or REG files in
\AutoInstall\Cabfile folder.
You would perform a soft reset 1) when the terminal fails to respond, 2) after installing software
applications that require a reboot, or 3) after making changes to certain system settings, or 4) to
install new CAB or REG files.
To perform a Soft Reset:
1. Press the Power button for 3 seconds and choose the Soft Reset on the power menu .
2. When the reset is complete, the Desktop appears.
Hard Reset (Cold Boot)
CAUTION: A hard reset erases all of the data and applications stored in RAM memory, reloads the
OS, and launches Autoinstall, which installs any CAB or REG files in the \AutoInstall\Cabfile.
ATTENTION : Une réinitialisation matérielle (hard reset) efface toutes les données et les applications stockées dans la
mémoire RAM du terminal. Elle charge à nouveau le système d'exploitation, et lance la procédure d’Autoinstall, qui installe
tous les fichiers CAB ou REG dans le répertoire \ AutoInstall \ CABFILE
Hard resets automatically launch a soft reset as part of the boot process if there are CAB files
present.
To Perform a Hard Reset:
1. Press the Power button for 3 seconds and choose the Hard Reset on the power menu.
2. When the reset is complete, the Desktop appears.
