Cable K2 devices

Cable Ethernet switch
As directed by the system diagram for your K2 SAN, cable the switch or switches for your K2 SAN
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 traffic.
For control and FTP/streaming traffic, 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.
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 Aurora Edits, 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.
