This chapter deals problems you might encounter with your SmartStor and how
to resolve them. Also see “Frequently Asked Questions” on page 115.
Responding to an Audible Alarm
The SmartStor has two beep patterns
• Single beep, not repeated – The SmartStor is online
• Two beeps, continuously repeated – The SmartStor reports a problem
When you boot or reboot the SmartStor, the buzzer sounds one time to indicate
that the SmartStor is online.
If you hear the two-beep pattern, check the following items:
• System Status LED (below)
• Disc Status LEDs (see page 110)
Checking the System Status LED
The SmartStor system status LED (see page 110) reports the condition of the
Enclosure fan and power supply:
• Blue – Normal Enclosure function
• Amber – There is a problem with the fan or power supply
• Red – The fan, power supply, or file system has failed.
If your SmartStor is configured to work with a UPS, it will continue to run after a
power supply failure.
