I modified the instructions as previously they did not indicate how long you should hold in the reset button and when to release it
Hope this is clearer and helps
- Run the Server recovery CD on a PC and follow the instructions with regards to removing software (IGNORE THE REST FOR NOW)
- Turn off the Acer, hold power button for 4 seconds
- Using a paper-clip, or similar, push in the recovery button on the back of the unit and KEEP it pressed in WHILST you turn on the unit AND keep it pressed in until step 6
- If you have done this correctly the i will flash RED on the front of the unit
- WAIT patiently until you see the network icon, on the front of the unit, flash BLUE (this can take several minutes - yes minutes!!)
- Once the network icon flashes BLUE then, and only then, can you stop pressing the reset button with the paperclip
- Now you can press the NEXT button on the Server Recovery Software and it WILL find the server very quickly
- Follow the instructions now from the Server Recovery Software. It DOES take a long time to recover (best part of 1 hour on a Gigabit network). Shame they didn’t put the 3Gb image on the 1Tb drive to save time!!!
Hope this is clearer and helps
