FIGURE 2-4Location of Rear-Panel Power Supply Status LEDs

The rear-panel power supply status LED has the states indicated in Table 2-8.

TABLE 2-8Power Supply Status LED States

Power Supply LED State

Power Supply Condition

 

 

OFF

No AC power present to power supply

BLINKING GREEN

AC power present, but only the standby outputs are on

GREEN

Power supply DC outputs are on and OK

BLINKING AMBER

PSAlert# signal asserted, power supply on

AMBER

Power supply shutdown due to over current, over temperature, over voltage,

 

or undervoltage

AMBER or OFF

Power supply failed and AC fuse open or other critical failure

 

 

Note – If redundant power supplies are used in the Sun StorEdge 5310 NAS, the power supply LEDs have the following meaning:

Both LEDs off = no power to power supplies or both power supplies bad.

Both LEDs blinking green = power supplies receiving AC power, but server is off. Both LEDs solid green = server is fully powered on and power supplies are good. One LED solid green and one LED amber = AC power missing from one of the power supplies.

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.
