8.Check the lights on the back of the command module, and then choose one of the following steps, based on the status of the lights.

The Host Link and Host Speed lights as well as the Power light are illuminated; all others are off - The module Link or 100BT light might be on if the command module is using an Ethernet connection. Go to step 9.

One or more amber lights are on - Do not continue with the power off procedure until you have corrected the fault. To diagnose the problem, go to “Troubleshooting the Module” on page 3-22.

9.Turn off the main circuit breaker in the cabinet.

10.Turn off all power switches on all modules affected by the unplanned shutdown.

11.Unplug both power cables from each module.

12.Replace the front cover on the command module, if applicable.

13.After the emergency situation has passed, perform the power recovery procedure in “Restoring Power After an Unplanned Shutdown” on page 3-18.

End Of Procedure

3.1.2.5Restoring Power After an Unplanned Shutdown

Caution – WARNING! Risk of severe electrical shock. Never turn on the power to any equipment if there is evidence of fire, water, or structural damage. Doing so may cause severe electrical shock. After the emergency situation has passed or power is restored to the building, always check all the equipment for physical damage first.

Use the following procedure to restore power to all modules in a storage array. Figure 3-11 on page 3-10shows the locations of the power switches.

1.Remove the back cover, if needed.

2.Is there evidence of damage to any components or cables?

Yes - Do not continue with this procedure if you find any evidence of damage.Call the factory or appropriate service organization for assistance. Depending on the current service agreements, you may need to return the equipment to the factory or local service center for repair.

No - Go to step 3.

Caution – Potential data loss or corruption. Ensure that all module power switches are turned off before resetting the circuit breakers. Failure to do so can cause data loss or corruption.

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.
