Troubleshooting
10.1 Troubleshooting
The Diamond Storage Array provides a number of visual, audible and computer system-generated
indicators to identify the operational status of the array. System status and error information is readily
available. If your situation is not defined here or elsewhere in the manual, if these solutions do not help,
or if you have any questions or concerns about any aspect of operating the array, please contact
technical support.
Windows 2000 special instructions
When using Windows 2000, the New Hardware
screen pops up and asks for a driver when the
array is first booted up. While a driver is not
necessary for operation, you should install our
dummy driver to eliminate the New Hardware
screen’s appearance. Download
AttoDM2k.zip
from our website, www.attotech.com, unzip it,
and install the driver
AttoDM2k.inf according to the
instructions in AttoDM2k.pdf .
Error messages
System Fault LED If a serious hardware or
software error occurs in the array, the System
Fault LED will display a series of flashes or blink
codes in a pattern.
• an initial series of blinks indicating the system
problem
• a two second pause
• another series of blinks providing more detailed
information for technical personnel.
• a four-second pause
• the blink code sequence will repeat from step 1
until the error is cleared.
In general, any fault will require notification of
Diamond Array technical personnel for resolution
or for further debug instructions. When you report
an error code, please provide both the first and
second blink code values.
During a fault condition, more detailed
information about the fault may be available via
the CLI over the RS-232 interface port or the
optional Ethernet port. The blink codes are also
saved internally by the array to NVRAM (Non
Volatile Random Access Memory) and will be
displayed at power up if the power to the array is
recycled.
