Note – A corded PS/2 keyboard (not a wireless one) must be plugged 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 page 2-27.

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.

TABLE 2-2Bootup Beep Codes

Beeps Reason

1 One short beep before boot (normal, not an error)

1-2 Search for option ROMs. One long beep and two short beeps on checksum failure.

1-2-2-3 BIOS ROM checksum 1-3-1-1 Test DRAM refresh

1-3-1-3 Test 8742 keyboard controller

1-3-3-1 Auto size DRAM. System BIOS stops execution here if the BIOS does not detect any usable memory DIMMs.

1-3-4-1 Base RAM failure. BIOS stops execution here if entire memory is bad.

2-1-2-3 Check ROM copyright notice.

2-2-3-1 Test for unexpected interrupts.

1-5-1-1 FRB failure (processor failure)

1-5-2-2 No processors installed

1-5-2-3 Processor configuration error (for example, mismatched VIDs).

1-5-2-4 Front-side bus select configuration error (for example, mismatched BSELs)

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.
