Chapter 1
Start with the K2 storage system diagram
To follow cabling instructions for your K2™ Storage Area Network (SAN) or
direct-connect storage K2 client, start with the system cabling diagram for your K2
system. Then follow the references below the system diagram to locate cabling
instructions for the individual devices of your K2 system.
Refer to the K2 Storage System Instruction Manual or the K2 SAN Installation and
Configuration Guide for more information on K2 SAN levels and devices. Refer to
the K2 System Guide for more information on direct-connect K2 client storage.

About custom K2 SANs
Custom systems are those that do not fit one of the pre-defined Level 2, 3, 10, 20, 30,
35, or nearline configurations. For example, a K2 SAN with Fibre Channel attached
K2 clients is considered a custom system. Custom systems that are an extension of
Level 2 or 3 are considered to be Level 4 systems. Custom systems that are an
extension of Level 10, 20, or 30 are considered to be Level 40 systems. Only qualified
Grass Valley personnel should attempt to design, install, and configure custom
systems.
This document and the other documents in the K2 documentation set are intended for
customers with one of the pre-defined SAN levels. While much of the information
also applies to custom systems, consult your Grass Valley representative before using
procedures on a custom system.
