problem.

Always turn on the MV 4440 first, then turn on the computer.

 

 

 

 

Ten or less slower beeps indicate a bad drive or an intermittent drive. The

 

number of beeps indicates which drive is having problems.

Slow Beeps

When operating in RAID 6 mode the MV 4440 is still available for normal

operation without performance degradation, but the beeps indicate that a

 

 

drive is down and the MV 4440 is running in a degraded RAID 6 state. If

 

more than two drives fail data will be lost.

 

 

 

This indicates that one or more drives are disabled in a vPOD. The

 

“Service” LED should also be illuminated and blinking, if one drive is

 

disabled. The “Urgent Service” LED should be illuminated and blinking if

 

two drives are disabled. The drive (or drives) needs to be serviced. See

Constant, Solid Tone

the “vPOD Hot-Swap Procedurein 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.
