Grass Valley K2 Storage SAN and Direct-Connect - Manual (Page 28)

K2 RAID for basic nearline K2 SAN
These cabling instructions apply to the following:
• K2 RAID (Condor with 10G controllers) on a basic nearline K2 SAN.
If you have more Expansion chassis than those illustrated, continue the indicated cabling pattern,
alternating connections for additional Expansion chassis between DP1 and DP0. Expansion chassis
1, 3, 5, 7, etc. (odd numbers) connect to DP1. Expansion chassis 2, 4, 6, 8, etc. (even numbers)
connect to DP0. For example, if you have four Expansion chassis (an even number), they are evenly
balanced, so you have two connected to DP1 and two connected to DP0. If you have five Expansion
chassis (an odd number), the “plus one” Expansion chassis is always connected to DP1, so you have
three connected to DP1 and two connected to DP0.
