Do I need to reset this thing somehow?

All I'm getting is garbage, thinking the baud rate is wrong - it's connected to a VT420 on port 1, baud rate 9600

Has it booted, or is it still sitting in the boot loop? (You can see that on the display of the DS300, when it has booted, it do an animation loop on the display.)


The display just says "2"

That means it is in the process of booting. Downloading software.
4 is I think just waiting to boot, selftest passed.
3 means it has sent out a boot request
2 means it has recevied the initial handshaking from a boot server, and is downloading
1 is probably something like completed download

Before it has booted it prints things, normally on port 1, and I think at the fixed speed of 9600. Once it has booted, it all depends on the setup of the port, which is stored in nonvolatile ram.


How do I reset the NVRAM?

Hold in the button while applying power.
