When you first power-up the Vess A7000 system beeps twice to show normal operation.
The audible alarm sounds at other times to inform you that the system needs attention. But the buzzer alarm is
not specific. Check the device LEDs and Events displays or logs for more information.
When the alarm sounds:
•
Check the front and back of the enclosure for red or orange LEDs.
• If email notification is enabled, check for new messages.
•
Check the event log.
When a continuous tone sounds, there are multiple alarm patterns sounding at the same time (see example
number 1 illustrated below).
Alarm buzzer patterns
Other alarm patterns include three short buzzes followed by a longer silence, then repeated (example number 2
above). This can indicate a serious problem that requires immediate action such as high enclosure temperature or
the system fan is not installed. If you hear this, check the System Status LED. If these are normal, it might indicate
a physical drive problem, or a power supply problem. Check the event log for more information.
Pattern number 3 above might indicate an LD offline. Pattern number 4 might be an
LD critical or bad sector on a physical disk.
