I have before me a Dell EqualLogic PS6100 with two Type 11 (green) controllers. I have been tasked with refurbishing the unit ready for resale for an IT waste recycling firm. My boss is one of those wonderful people who gives you something to work on without telling you what's happening; it took me two weeks to find out why we had it in the first place. The firm has not been given any of the configuration details about the controllers (no passwords, no management port IP address/subnet) and it appears the serial ports have been disabled as well.
Is there any way to perform a hardware factory reset without requiring console/management interface? I have so far been unable to find anything in the documentation or the ol' Gargler.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
