LED

Color

Function

 

 

 

System ID

Blue

This LED is located on the Main Board and is visible through

 

 

holes in the rear panel. It can provide a mechanism for

 

 

identifying one system out of a group of identical systems.

 

 

This can be particularly useful if the server is used in a rack-

 

 

mount chassis in a high-density, multiple-system application.

 

 

The LED is activated by depressing the front panel System ID

 

 

pushbutton or if the server receives a remote System Identify

 

 

command from a remote management console. If activated

 

 

by the front panel pushbutton, the LED remains on until the

 

 

pushbutton is depressed again. When the LED illuminates

 

 

due to a remote System Identify command, the LED turns off

 

 

after a timeout period. An additional blue System ID LED is

 

 

located on the front panel that mirrors the operation of the

 

 

rear Main Board LED.

System Status/Fault

Green/Amber

This LED reflects the state of the System Status LED on the

 

 

front panel.

Power Supply

Green/Amber

This is a bi-color LED that can be on, off, green, amber, or

 

 

blinking, or combination thereof. See “Rear Panel Power

 

 

Supply Status LED” on page 2-20for more detailed

 

 

information.

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.
