To follow cabling instructions
The K2 10Gv2 SAN, and its K2 10G RAID storage, is documented in this manual. The K2 10Gv2
SAN is dened 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.
