“For any JACE-8000 that is converted to run NiagaraAX, the USB Backup/Restore function is not supported and USB Connector 1 (for thumb drive) is disabled. USB Connector 2 for serial shell connections is still enabled in theJACE-8000 running NiagaraAX. And although holding down the Backup button during power up/boot up still functions to initiate a factory recovery image, it restores the controller to its factory ship state which is N4.1 or later. You must repeat the conversion procedure to get it to AX-3.8U1.” – Page 12
“Resetting platform credentials is accomplished via a multi-stage process that involves using serial shell software plus contacting your Support channel, and interacting with Tridium in order to initiate a secure method of validating that you (the serial shell user) are authorized to reset the platform credentials and system passphrase.” – Page 13

“In Niagara 4.7U1 and later, the presence of a USB device inserted in the USB backup/restore port prevents you from accidentally launching the factory defaults recovery process while attempting to restore a backup. If a USB device, of any type, is inserted in the backup/restore port, then recovery is skipped. Consequently, when factory defaults recovery is desired, no USB device can be inserted in the USB port.” – Page 7
