The Locked position is the recommended setting for normal day to day operation of the system This setting places the system in power off mode immediately by turning off any power supply and placing it in standby mode of 5 volts DC output All other power supply voltages are turned off to all other internal system components except to the circuitry on the power distribution board to the PC bus circuitry on the FC AL backplane to the RSC card circuitry and to selected circuits on the main logic board This setting disables the server s Power button This setting does not allow the RSC card to restart the server However the RSC card can still report its data to the software using the system s standby power Chapter 1 System Overview 9 10 System LED Indicators The two system LEDs consist of a system power indicator and a fault indicator The system power indicator lights continuously green to show that the system is powered on The fault indicator lights when a problem is detected in the system Because it is important to know that a fault exists in the system after an error condition occurs the fault indicator remains lit when the system is in normal operating mode When the system is switched Off using the keyswitch the LED indicator stays lit for devices drawing standby power When you first power on the system both the system indicator LEDs are lit The general fault indicator lights steadily for two seconds and is then

Using this method the concatenated disks are filled with data sequentially with the second disk being written to when no space remains on the first the third when no room remains on the second and so on Disk Mirroring RAID 1 Disk mirroring is a technique that uses data redundancy two complete copies of all data stored on two separate disks to protect against loss of data due to disk failure One metadevice is created from two disks P E Whenever the operating system needs to write to the mirrored metadevice both disks are updated The disks are maintained at all times with exactly the same information When the operating system needs to read from the mirrored metadevice it reads from whichever disk is more readily accessible at the moment The scheme is sometimes called RAID 1 where RAID stands for redundant arrays of independent disks RAID 1 offers the highest level of data protection but storage costs are high since all data is stored twice Sun Fire 280R Server Owner s Guide January 2001 Disk Striping RAID 0 Disk striping sometimes called RAID 0 is a technique for increasing system throughput by using several disk drives in parallel Whereas in non striped disks the operating system writes a single block to a single disk in a striped arrangement each block is divided and portions of the data are written to different disks i Fe HL e System performance using RAID 0 will be better than using RAID 1 or 5
