7.6.9LCD Display Module

Note – The LCD Display must be replaced while the cover is removed from the chassis.

Caution – Before touching or replacing any component inside the Sun StorEdge

5310 NAS, 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.

To replace the LCD Display, follow these steps:

1.Before removing the cover to work inside the system, observe the previously stated safety guidelines.

2.Remove the chassis cover.

3.Remove the ribbon cable from the SCSI connector on the RAID card. Make a note of the connector that the ribbon cable is on.

4.Remove the filler plate above the LCD Display.

5.Cut the two (2) tie wraps that secure the USB cable to the Flash Drive cables. The tie wraps are located near the Flash Disk.

6.Remove the tape holding the USB cable in place.

7.Use a long, thin screwdriver to unlatch the LCD bay. Place the screwdriver in the bottom row fourth (4th) hole over from the end of the three (3) rows of holes on the right side of the chassis. Press the Blue tab, visible from the top and side, and gently pull the LCD Display out while feeding the slack to the LCD Display.

8.Unplug the USB cable from the LCD Display

9.Remove the slider bay bracket from the LCD Display and install it on the new LCD Display.

10.Plug the USB cable into the LCD Display.

11.Slide the LCD Display back into the bay until you hear a click, carefully pulling the slack from the USB cable.

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.
