Audible Alarm
The Huge Media Vault will sound an alarm if there is a problem with the RAID operation. Corrective
actions can be applied to rectify the problem.
6 Rapid Beeps During Boot Time
6 rapid beeps during boot time is normally associated with SCSI cabling, SCSI termination, or power up
sequence related. Always turn on the MediaVault on first, then turn on the computer. You might need to
physically remove and re-insert the SCSI connectors along the SCSI path, this includes the connectors at
the SCSI controller, at the MediaVault and the terminators.
Check to ensure there are no other SCSI devices on the bus using the same SCSI ID address.
Try removing any other SCSI devices that shares the same SCSI bus as the Media Vault, leaving just the
Media Vault as the only SCSI device will help to identify if there is a conflict with other devices.
6 Rapid Beeps During Normal Operation
6 rapid beeps during normal operation indicates either there is a SCSI interface issue or a disk drive in the
MediaVault has timed out. Check to ensure all SCSI connections are securely in place, you might need to
physically remove and re-insert the SCSI connectors along the SCSI path, this includes the connectors at
the SCSI controller, at the MediaVault and the terminators.
Slow Beeps
One or more slower beep
indicate a bad drive or an intermittent drive, the number of beeps indicates which
drive is having problems. When operating in RAID 3@2K or RAID 3 mode the Huge Media Vault is still
available for normal operation without performance degradation, but the beeps indicate that a drive is down
and you are running without RAID 3 protection. Should another drive fail, your are in danger of loosing
data.
