Safety Summaries

Warnings

Identifies a protective grounding terminal which must be connected to earth ground prior to making any other equipment connections.
Identifies an external protective grounding terminal which may be connected to earth ground as a supplement to an internal grounding terminal.
Indicates that static sensitive components are present which may be damaged by electrostatic discharge. Use anti-static procedures, equipment and surfaces during servicing.
The following warning statements identify conditions or practices that can result in personal injury or loss of life.
Dangerous voltage or current may be present — Disconnect power and remove battery (if applicable)
before removing protective panels, soldering, or replacing components.
Do not service alone — Do not internally service this product unless another person capable of
rendering first aid and resuscitation is present.
Remove jewelry — Prior to servicing, remove jewelry such as rings, watches, and other metallic
objects.
Avoid exposed circuitry — Do not touch exposed connections, components or circuitry when power
is present.
Use proper power cord — Use only the power cord supplied or specified for this product.
Ground product — Connect the grounding conductor of the power cord to earth ground.
Operate only with covers and enclosure panels in place — Do not operate this product when covers
or enclosure panels are removed.
Use correct fuse — Use only the fuse type and rating specified for this product.
Use only in dry environment — Do not operate in wet or damp conditions.
Use only in non-explosive environment — Do not operate this product in an explosive atmosphere.
High leakage current may be present — Earth connection of product is essential before connecting
power.
Dual power supplies may be present — Be certain to plug each power supply cord into a separate
branch circuit employing a separate service ground. Disconnect both power supply cords prior to servicing.
Double pole neutral fusing — Disconnect mains power prior to servicing.
Use proper lift points — Do not use door latches to lift or move equipment.
Avoid mechanical hazards — Allow all rotating devices to come to a stop before servicing.

Cautions

The following caution statements identify conditions or practices that can result in damage to equipment or other property
Use correct power source — Do not operate this product from a power source that applies more than
the voltage specified for the product.
12 K2 SAN Installation and Service Manual 18 November 2010
Safety Summaries
Use correct voltage setting — If this product lacks auto-ranging power supplies, before applying
power ensure that the each power supply is set to match the power source.
Provide proper ventilation — To prevent product overheating, provide equipment ventilation in
accordance with installation instructions.
Use anti-static procedures — Static sensitive components are present which may be damaged by
electrostatic discharge. Use anti-static procedures, equipment and surfaces during servicing.
Do not operate with suspected equipment failure — If you suspect product damage or equipment
failure, have the equipment inspected by qualified service personnel.
Ensure mains disconnect — If mains switch is not provided, the power cord(s) of this equipment
provide the means of disconnection. The socket outlet must be installed near the equipment and must be easily accessible. Verify that all mains power is disconnected before installing or removing power supplies and/or options.
Route cable properly — Route power cords and other cables so that they ar not likely to be damaged.
Properly support heavy cable bundles to avoid connector damage.
Use correct power supply cords — Power cords for this equipment, if provided, meet all North
American electrical codes. Operation of this equipment at voltages exceeding 130 VAC requires power supply cords which comply with NEMA configurations. International power cords, if provided, have the approval of the country of use.
Use correct replacement battery — This product may contain batteries. To reduce the risk of explosion,
check polarity and replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Troubleshoot only to board level — Circuit boards in this product are densely populated with surface
mount technology (SMT) components and application specific integrated circuits (ASICS). As a result, circuit board repair at the component level is very difficult in the field, if not impossible. For warranty compliance, do not troubleshoot systems beyond the board level.

ESD Protection
Electronics today are more susceptible to electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage than older equipment. Damage to equipment can occur by ESD fields that are smaller than you can feel. Implementing the information in this section will help you protect the investment that you have made in purchasing Grass Valley equipment. This section contains Grass Valley’s recommended ESD guidelines that should be followed when handling electrostatic discharge sensitive (ESDS) items. These minimal recommendations are based on the information in the Sources of ESD and Risks on page 21 area. The information in Grounding Requirements for Personnel on page 22 is provided to assist you in selecting an appropriate grounding method.

Recommended ESD Guidelines

Follow these guidelines when handling Grass Valley equipment:
• Only trained personnel that are connected to a grounding system should handle ESDS items.
• Do not open any protective bag, box, or special shipping packaging until you have been grounded.
NOTE: When a Personal Grounding strap is unavailable, as an absolute minimum, touch a metal object that is touching the floor (for example, a table, frame, or rack) to discharge any static energy before touching an ESDS item.
• Open the anti-static packaging by slitting any existing adhesive tapes. Do not tear the tapes off.
• Remove the ESDS item by holding it by its edges or by a metal panel.
• Do not touch the components of an ESDS item unless it is absolutely necessary to configure or
repair the item.
• Keep the ESDS work area clear of all nonessential items such as coffee cups, pens, wrappers and personal items as these items can discharge static. If you need to set an ESDS item down, place it on an anti-static mat or on the anti-static packaging.

Sources of ESD and Risks

Safety Summaries
The following information identifies possible sources of electrostatic discharge and can be used to help establish an ESD policy.
Personnel
One of the largest sources of static is personnel. The static can be released from a person’s clothing and shoes.
Environment
The environment includes the humidity and floors in a work area. The humidity level must be controlled and should not be allowed to fluctuate over a broad range. Relative humidity (RH) is a major part in determining the level of static that is being generated. For example, at 10% - 20% RH a person walking across a carpeted floor can develop 35kV; yet when the relative humidity is increased to 70% - 80%, the person can only generate 1.5kV.
Static is generated as personnel move (or as equipment is moved) across a floor’s surface. Carpeted and waxed vinyl floors contribute to static build up.
Work Surfaces
Painted or vinyl-covered tables, chairs, conveyor belts, racks, carts, anodized surfaces, plexiglass covers, and shelving are all static generators.
Equipment
Any equipment commonly found in an ESD work area, such as solder guns, heat guns, blowers, etc., should be grounded.
Materials
Plastic work holders, foam, plastic tote boxes, pens, packaging containers and other items commonly found at workstations can generate static electricity.

K2 SAN overview description

The K2 Storage Area Network is Grass Valley’s shared storage solution that gives multiple clients access to a common pool of media. In the iSCSI SAN, clients access the shared media storage via a Gigabit Ethernet network and a Fibre Channel connection. Data is communicated using the Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) data transfer interface and the Internet SCSI (iSCSI) protocol.
A custom-designed Fibre Channel SAN is also available in which clients access RAID storage via a Fibre Channel network, and the K2 Media Server connects via Ethernet for control functions only.
Refer to the K2 System Guide for diagrams and explanations of the media file system and the media database.
