    1. Select the Schedule Reboot checkbox.
    2. Type the date and time that the appliance should reboot.
  3. Select the reboot mode from the list.

    • Fast Reboot—This is a soft reboot and will reboot the operating system only. This does not reboot the hardware and does not reload the BIOS.

    Rebooting the Exinda appliance may take a few minutes to restart.
