Revolution Pi Checklist

All data on the device will be deleted. The customer is responsible for data backup and data protection.

The checkboxes are only there for self-control, they have no other function.

We want to ensure that you and we don’t spend time on problems that can be avoided by resetting the device to the factory defaults. Therefore, we have provided this checklist for you.

Preparation

Unplug all USB devices from your RevPi device
Disable the watchdog timer if your device supports it, i.e. https://revolutionpi.com/documentation/revpi-connect-s/#watchdog

Backup
