Note – Turn off both power switches on all modules in the configuration before connecting power cords or turning on the main circuit breakers.

1.Remove the back cover, if needed.

2.Are the main circuit breakers in the cabinet turned on?

■Yes - Turn off both power switches on all modules that you intend to connect to the power.

■No - Turn off both power switches on all modules in the cabinet.

3.Connect the power cords to the power supplies on each module.

Note – To ensure that the controllers acknowledge each attached drive module, turn on power to the drive modules before turning on power to the command module to ensure that the controllers acknowledge each attached drive module.

4.Turn on both power switches on the back of each drive module.

The drives will not spin up until they receive a Start Unit command from the controller. While the drive modules power up, the green and amber lights on the front and the back of the modules will flash intermittently. Depending on your configuration, the drive modules can take from 20 seconds to several minutes to power up.

5.Turn on both power switches on the back of the command module.

A command module can take up to 30 seconds to power up and up to 15 minutes to complete its controller battery self-test. During this time, the green and amber lights on the front and the back of the respective module flash intermittently.

5310 NAS specifications

Sun Microsystems, known for its innovative computing solutions, launched the Sun 5310 Network Attached Storage (NAS) system, which marked a significant advancement in the realm of storage solutions in the early 2000s. The 5310 NAS was designed to provide high-performance, reliable, and scalable storage tailored for enterprise environments.

One of the standout features of the Sun 5310 NAS is its file-serving capabilities, which support multiple protocols, notably NFS (Network File System) and CIFS (Common Internet File System). This dual-protocol support allowed organizations to seamlessly integrate the NAS into diverse IT ecosystems, facilitating interoperability between UNIX, Linux, and Windows systems. The enhanced file-sharing capabilities made it an ideal solution for businesses with mixed operating environments.

The Sun 5310 NAS incorporates cutting-edge technologies to ensure high availability and data integrity. The system utilized a RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) technology, providing various RAID levels to protect against data loss while optimizing performance. Additionally, the device featured hot-swappable drives, enabling maintenance and upgrades with minimal downtime, a crucial factor for business continuity.

Equipped with advanced management software, the Sun 5310 NAS offered users an intuitive interface for monitoring storage health and performance. This software included comprehensive reporting functionalities that allowed IT administrators to oversee usage patterns and capacity planning efficiently.

Scalability was another defining characteristic of the Sun 5310 NAS. The system could easily expand with additional storage modules, accommodating the growing needs of an organization without the necessity for complete system overhauls. This flexibility ensured that businesses could adapt their storage solutions to meet evolving data storage needs without incurring significant costs or disruptions.

In terms of performance, the Sun 5310 NAS featured high I/O throughput achieved through its robust hardware architecture and optimized file serving capabilities. This performance baseline was crucial for organizations that relied on heavy data workloads and required rapid access to information.

In summary, the Sun 5310 NAS from Sun Microsystems embodied a forward-thinking approach to network storage, blending reliability, scalability, and multi-protocol support. Its user-friendly management software, combined with the robustness of RAID technology and hot-swappable drives, made it a preferred choice for enterprises looking to streamline their storage infrastructure while safeguarding critical data.
