After seeing this thread, it struck me that it would be helpful to have a list of the steps needed to clear, reset, and sell a server to another users. Selfishly, I'll be needing these steps myself soon as I prepare to sell a 3U server.
Once all the content is replicated to a new server (if desired), what are the steps the original owner should take to sell it and make sure there's minimal hassle for the purchaser?
I believe the list includes:

I believe the list includes:
- "unregister" the server from the Kaleidescape Store account (?)
- "divorce" the server from the original owner's system via the web interface
- reset the server back to DHCP
- have the drives re-initialized (? I forget if this is still required and if it still means the drive set has to go back to Kaleidescape to do it? Or can it now be done remotely?)
- anything else? (does one need to reset a password on the server as well?)
