Back-Up Your Data
It’s important to back up all your data before recycling your server. Make sure to have an external hard drive ready to store data, so your files and documents won’t be lost forever. This will also ensure that your data won’t be accessed by anyone else.
Delete All User Accounts and Passwords
Before sending your server off for recycling, delete all user accounts and passwords associated with it. Be sure to also remove any software or applications that are no longer in use. This will help protect your data from falling into the wrong hands and prevent malicious actors from gaining access to your server.
Remove All Hardware Components
To prepare your server for recycling, be sure to remove all of its hardware components. This includes hard drives, RAM sticks, processors, and power supplies. Taking out the components will help ensure that your server is not reused and does not contain any sensitive information.
Remove All Cables and Connectors
In addition to removing hardware components, you should also take out all cables and connectors from the server. This includes Ethernet cables, USB cords, power cords, and other cables that may be connected to the server. Doing so will keep your server as safe and secure as possible during e-waste recycling.
