completed. In that case, wait until the task has been completed and then check

the indicators again.

Step 2:

Troubleshoot the

Problem

Based on what you found in the last step, you can take one of the following

actions.

(If you could identify the issue and a matching troubleshooting procedure is

found in this manual) Run the instructions in this document. You may obtain

additional information from user manuals and Community Forums.

(If you could not identify the issue or a matching troubleshooting procedure

has not been found in this manual) Run the System Diagnosis procedure

and contact Support with the result.

Step 3: Confirm that

the Problem has

been Fixed

After troubleshooting has been completed, check the indicators again and make

sure that the original problems are no longer reported.

System Error Buzzer

33Identifying the Buzzer

Once an error has occurred, users must log into the web interface and check

the system logs to identify the issue(s). Below is a list of the possible triggering

events and simple countermeasures.

CPU or system temperature exceeded the threshold limit

System fan failure

Hard drive failure

Related Troubleshooting Procedure

The Buzzer Sounds Continuously

CPU or system

temperature

exceeded the

threshold limit

When you have determined the CPU or system temperature is the cause of the

system error, please check for obstructions in front of and behind the system

enclosure to ensure normal airflow is sustained. If error persists, please contact

technical support.

System fan failure When you have determined the system fan has completely failed or is operating

below its normal rev range, please contact technical support.

Hard drive failure When you have determined a hard drive or hard drive(s) have failed.

Open the front system panel cover and check all hard drive status LEDs.

Normal operation hard drive’s power status LED should light up green, failed

hard drive power status LEDs will light up red.

Once you have located the failed hard drive, remove it out of the system and

replace it with a new one (please refer to replacing the hard drive).

When hot-swapping (while system is in operation), a beep will sound to indicate

the hard drive has been detected by the system followed by the power status

3810Gbps iSCSI Host Ports

The 10Gbps host connectivity is achieved by inserting SFP+ into the SFP+

cages on iSCSI ports and data signals are sent through optical cables.

The 10Gbps iSCSI channel standard allows for optical connections only. Optical

cables can be used over longer distances and have been shown to be more

reliable. Due to the demands of high transfer rates, optical cables are preferred

for 10Gb iSCSI connectivity. Optical cables are also less susceptible to EMI.

42Locating Your NAS System: NAS Systems without an LCD Screen

For NAS systems without a built-in LCD screen, you need to locate its IP

address with a separate tool.

The NAS Finder application allows you to locate your NAS system’s IP address

and offers instant connection to your NAS system.

To open the NAS Finder, browse the product CD-ROM and activate

NASFinder.exe.

Prerequisites Make sure that both your computer and NAS system have already been

connected to the network via Ethernet cables.

The NAS Finder application works only in a Windows OS environment.

NAS Finder

The NAS Finder interface consists of a device list window which shows the NAS

systems found on your network, a language selection menu, and menu buttons

at the bottom of the screen.

Locating Your NAS

System

1. Select your preferred interface language from the Language drop-down

menu.

3. You have two search options, depending on your network configurations:

Choose Find immediately if: You do not know your NAS system’s subnet

mask or you want to find all NAS systems on your network. This is the

recommended option unless you have a reason not to.

Choose Find inside a subnet if: You already know the subnet mask of your

NAS system.

4. Click the Start button. The NAS Finder will start searching for your NAS

system. A bar at the bottom left corner will appear, showing the search

progress. The Find button turns into “Stop,” allowing you to halt the search if

you want.

5. When the search is completed, the bar disappears and the list of NAS

systems on the network will appear in the list.

If your NAS system does not appear, read the next section to locate it

manually.

Notes on

Wake-on-LAN

Wake-on-LAN works only if (1) the NAS system has been previously located

by the NAS Finder and (2) the IP address of the NAS system has not been

changed.

NAS Finder does not actively monitor the IP address of the NAS system.

Therefore, if the IP address of the NAS system has been changed since the

last search, Wake-on-LAN will not work.

Closing the NAS

Finder

To close the NAS Finder, click the Close button at the bottom or click the

icon at the top right corner.
