3.If you do not press <F2> or <Esc> or <F4> and do NOT have a device with an operating system loaded, the boot process continues and the system beeps once. The following message is displayed:

Operating System not found

4.At this time, pressing any key causes the system to attempt a reboot. The system searches all removable devices in the order defined by the boot priority.

During POST, the server BIOS presents screen messages to indicate error conditions. POST also provides beep codes to give you audible clues regarding the performance and operation of the server when there is no video display that can present error messages. In addition, a set of four bi-color diagnostic LEDs is located on the back edge of the server main board. These LEDs are active during POST and indicate the state of the server. Each of the four LEDs can have one of four states: Off, Green, Red, or Amber. See “Power-OnSelf-Test (POST)” on page 2-7for a complete description of the screen messages, beep codes, and diagnostic LEDs.

Verifying Proper Operation of Key System LEDs

As POST determines the system configuration, it tests for the presence of each mass storage device installed in the system. As each device is checked, its activity light should turn on briefly. Check to see if the disk drive activity light for each drive turns on briefly.

2.2.3.2Power LED Does Not Light

Check the following:

■Is the system operating normally? If so, the power LED is probably defective or the cable from the front panel to the server board is loose.

■Are there other problems with the system? If so, check the items listed under “System Cooling Fans Do Not Rotate Properly” on page 2-8.

If all items are correct and problems persist, contact your service representative or authorized dealer for help.

2.2.3.3System Cooling Fans Do Not Rotate Properly

If the system cooling fans are not operating properly, system components could be damaged.

Check the following:

■Is AC power available at the wall outlet?

■Is the system power cord properly connected to the system and the wall outlet?

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.
