K2 10G RAID Storage Instruction Manual 18 November 2010
Chapter 1 About the K2 10G RAID
The K2 10G RAID Expansion Chassis provides additional storage capacity. It
contains:
• Two Expansion Adapters
• Up to eleven K2 10G RAID Expansion Chassis can be connected to a single K2
10G RAID chassis
• A single disk-array storage system with up to 144 drives
K2 10G RAID components
The K2 10G RAID components are:
• One 2U high rack-mountable chassis
• One or two (K2 10G RAID redundant) RAID controllers or two expansion adapters
(Expansion chassis)
• As many as twelve SAS or SATA disk drives per chassis
• Two RAID chassis power supplies
All configurations have SNMP ports, slots for primary and secondary controllers, and
chassis with redundant power. Any unoccupied slot (RAID controller or disk module)
has a filler module to maintain air flow and compliance with electromagnetic
interference (EMI) standards.
The RAID controllers, expansion adapters, disk drives and power supplies are
hot-swappable field replaceable units (FRUs), which means you can add or replace
them while the K2 10G RAID is powered up.
An optional second RAID controller module in the K2 10G RAID allows for
continued access to the K2 10G RAID if the primary RAID controller fails. Refer to
the K2 SAN Installation and Service Manual for detailed connection and
configuration instructions.
