Audible Alarm

The MV 4105 sounds an alarm when there is a problem with a drive.

Corrective actions should be applied to fix the problem.

TABLE 5-7.Audible Alarm Beeps and Tone.

	These beeps is normally associated with a Fibre Channel interface
	problem.
3 Short and 3 Long Beeps	Always turn on the MV 4105 first, then turn on the computer. You might
	need to physically reseat the Fibre Channel connections or the SFP
	module, or replace these components.
	One or more slower beeps indicate a bad drive or an intermittent drive; the
	number of beeps indicates which drive is having problems.
	When operating in RAID 3 mode the MV 4105 is still available for normal
	operation without performance degradation, but the beeps indicate that a
	drive is down and the MV 4105 is running in a degraded RAID 3 state. If
Slow Beeps	another drive fails data might be lost.
	To service the unit, any data that needs to be kept must be off loaded to
	another fully functional unit. Send the entire defective unit to the service
	center. The defective component will be replaced or repaired and returned
	to the sender. Data will not be preserved by the service center. Upon
	receiving the repaired unit, reformat and partition the MV 4105. Restore
	any needed data.
	This indicates that a drive is down. The Service indicator should also be
	on.
	One of the drive indicators should exhibit a slow blink (one second on, one
	second off). The drive needs to be serviced. See the “Drive Replacement”
Constant, Solid Tone	section in Chapter 8, Maintenance, for more information.
	Mute the alarm by pressing the Mode Set button once. Holding the Mode
	Set button until two beeps are heard starts the rebuild process. (This is
	typically done only after a replacement drive module had been installed to
	replace a defective drive module).
