■Yes - Go to step 14.

■No - If the battery in the failed controller is still viable, you have the option of using that battery in the replacement controller. Go to step 11.

11.Are you using the battery from the old controller?

■Yes - Go to step 12.

■No - Unpack the new battery.

Set the new battery on a dry, level surface. Save all packing materials in case you need to return the battery, and then go to step 13.

12.Remove the battery from the failed controller.

a.Turn the controller upside down, remove the screws securing the controller cover, and remove the cover. Figure 7-11shows the cover and screws.

b.Remove the single screw securing the battery bracket, slide the bracket sideways to clear the lugs, and lift the bracket up. Figure 7-12 on page 7-27shows the bracket in relation to the controller.

c.Disconnect the battery harness from its controller board connector.

d.Remove the battery from the controller.

You may need to hold the controller close above a flat surface and let the battery fall out. Do not let the battery pull on the battery harness.

13.Install the replacement battery in the new controller.

a.Connect the battery harness on the replacement battery to the connector on the controller board in the new controller. Figure 7-12illustrates this connection.

b.Position the battery inside the new controller.

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.
