■Memory scrubbing: Error correction is performed on data being read from memory. The correction is then passed to the requestor and at the same time the error is “scrubbed” (corrected) in main memory. Memory scrubbing prevents the accumulation of single-bit errors in main memory that would then become unrecoverable multiple-bit errors.

■X4 single device data correction (x4 SDDC): When x4 memory is installed, the ECC function can detect and correct a four-bit error caused by a single failed memory chip and the system continues to function, though system performance will be affected. When x8 memory is installed, the ECC function will detect an eight-bit error caused by a single failed memory chip but will not be able to correct the error. In this situation a fatal error will be issued.

Caution – Use of unqualified DIMM modules may damage the server and may void the warranty.

7.6.3Power Supply Unit

Caution – Before touching or replacing any component inside the server, disconnect all external cables and follow the instructions in “Safety: Before You Remove the Cover” on page 7-2and “Removing and Replacing the Cover” on page 7-2.Always place the server on a grounded ESD pad and wear a properly grounded antistatic wrist strap.

Warning – Power supply may be hot to the touch.

7.6.3.1Sun StorEdge 5310 NAS Power Supply

To replace a power supply:

1.Squeeze the module handle to depress the latch (Figure 7-4,panel 1).

2.Rotate the handle down while pulling the module toward you (Figure 7-4,panel 2).

3.As you pull the module out, support the module with your free hand.

4.Insert a new power supply module in the bay.

5.Grip the module handle, rotate it down, and push the module into the bay.

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.
