Dell Poweredge SC1435 Servers
I have several Dell Poweredge SC1435 Servers and wish to sell them. However, I am concerned about there being any data on these servers and want to factory reset them, but I don't know how or where to.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Page 89 of the owner's manual will show you where the BIOS reset jumper is, which will reset the BIOS back to factory settings. As for your data, you'd need to use a disk overwrite utility, or if you have a RAID controller, you could look at an initialization to blank the arrays off the drives. Another strategy I see fairly commonly is that people will sell their servers, but hang onto their drives and destroy them.
