Preparing K2 Media Clients
Do the following to each K2 Media Client in preparation for its addition to the K2
Storage System:
1. Install the K2 Media Client in its permanent location.
2. Provide power to the K2 Media Client.
3. Connect cables as follows:
Connect GigE port 1 to a control port on the K2 Ethernet switch. For a redundant
connection connect GigE port 1 to a control port on the A Ethernet switch and
GigE port 3 to a control port on the B Ethernet switch.
Connect GigE port 2 to a media (iSCSI) port on the K2 Ethernet switch. For a
redundant connection connect GigE port 2 to a media port on the A Ethernet
switch and GigE port 4 to a media port on the B Ethernet switch.
NOTE: The connections to GigE ports 2 and 4 documented here are only valid for
external storage K2 Media Clients that access shared storage on a K2 Storage
System. To connect GigE ports 2 and 4 on internal storage K2 Media Clients, refer
to the Internal Storage chapter earlier in this manual
Connect keyboard, mouse, and VGA monitor, if configuring locally. You can
also access the Windows desktop remotely with Windows Remote Desktop
Connection.
Connect other cabling as required.
4. Power on the K2 Media Client and log on to Windows as Windows administrator,
which is username administrator and password adminK2 by default. Ignore startup
messages referring to a missing media storage system.
5. Assign a control network IP address and configure other network settings for the
K2 Media Client. Refer to the K2 Storage System Instruction Manual for
networking information. Ports 1 and 3 are teamed, so even if are making a
connection to port 1 only, you must configure network settings for the Control
Team, as follows:
