To follow cabling instructions
The K2 10Gv2 SAN, and its K2 10G RAID storage, is documented in this manual. The K2 10Gv2
SAN is dened as follows: The K2 SAN with 8 Gig Fibre Channel and 10 Gig iSCSI connections.
Support 2.5 inch drives and large capacity drives. Initially released in late 2012.. The K2 10Gv2
SAN requires K2 software version 9.0 and higher. Some devices and/or systems used with older
K2 SANs are not compatible with the K2 10Gv2 SAN. Consult "K2 Release Notes" for compatibility
information.
To follow cabling instructions for your K2™Storage Area Network (SAN) or direct-connect storage
K2 Summit system, do the following:
1. Find the system cabling diagram that matches your K2 system.
2. Follow the references below the system diagram to locate cabling instructions for the individual
devices of your K2 system.
Refer to the "K2 10Gv2 SAN Installation and Service Manual" for more information on K2 SANs
and devices. Refer to the "K2 System Guide" for more information on direct-connect K2 client
storage.

Cable Ethernet switch
As directed by the system diagram for your storage system, cable the switch or switches for your
system using the instructions in this section.
These instructions are for the HP ProCurve switch 2900 and 2910 series. You must use this switch
for iSCSI trafc.
For control and FTP/streaming trafc, it is allowed to use a different brand of switch, such as a
Cisco Catalyst switch, if required by your site. If you are using a non-HP switch, apply the information
in the following procedures accordingly. Refer to the documentation you received with the switch
as necessary.
Install the switch in its permanent location. When installing in a video equipment rack, use 10-32
screws. Do not use HP’s 12-24 screws, as they can cause thread damage.
Provide power to the switch.

Ethernet cable requirements
For making Ethernet connections, cabling must meet the following requirements:
• Use CAT5e or CAT6 cables. The maximum cable length is 50 meters for CAT5e and 100 meters
for CAT6.

If you have other iSCSI clients, such as GV STRATUS high-resolution clients, that have just one
iSCSI connection and one control connection, approximately half of the clients should be connected
to switch A and half of the clients should be connected to switch B. In a failover event, only the
clients connected to one of the switches will remain operational, so make connections accordingly.
Connect the client’s iSCSI connection to one of the media ports on a switch and the client’s control
connection to one of the control ports on the same switch.
If you have more than one optional NH10GE K2 Media Servers, balance servers between switch A
and switch B.
