# Reset a server

You might need to reset a server if the server operating system has become unresponsive.

Prerequisites

- Required privileges: Infrastructure administrator or Server administrator

- The enclosure and the hardware were successfully added and are managed by the appliance

- The server to be reset is powered on

Resetting a server

1. From the main menu, do one of the following:

   1. Select Server Hardware and select a server.

   2. Select Server Profiles and select a server profile.

2. Select Actions→Reset.

3. Select the type of reset to perform, do one of the following:

   - Click Reset to perform a warm reset that immediately resets the server without removing power.

   - Click Cold boot to perform a hard reset that immediately removes power from the server hardware, and then restarts the server after approximately six seconds.

   | NOTE: A reset and a cold boot can circumvent any graceful shutdown features the operating system might have.

4. To verify that the activity is successful, check the activity for a green status in the Notifications area.
