Sun Microsystems 5310 NAS Server Beeps at Power On or When Booting

2-6 Sun StorEdge 5310 NAS Troubleshooting Guide • December 2004
Note – A corded PS/2 key board (not a wireless one) must be plugg ed into the
keyboard/mouse connector at the back of the server. When the front panel is locked,
the lights on the keyboard flash, but the server is still fully functional.
Server Beeps at Power On or When Booting
The server indicates problems with “beep codes” during Power-On Self Test (POST)
in the event there is no displayed video. A complete list of beep codes is given in
“POST Error Beep Codes” on page2-27.
Note – The RAID card also will beep when a disk drive has failed. Check the system
log to help isolate the problem.
The following beep codes identify system events during POST in case video fails to
display.
