Basic operations for external storage K2 Media
Clients
Use the following procedures as you operate your K2 Media Clients with the K2
Storage System:
• “Power on/off procedures”
• “Taking a K2 Media Client offline”
For other procedures refer to “Administering and maintaining the K2 system” on
page 99 and the K2 Storage System Instruction Manual.
Power on/off procedures
As long as the K2 Storage System remains operational, you can use the standard
power on and power off procedures for K2 Media Clients attached to the K2 Storage
System. When a K2 Media Client goes offline or comes online it does not disrupt the
K2 Storage System.
However, if you are powering down or otherwise taking the K2 Storage System out
of service, you must follow the correct procedure as specified in the K2 Storage
System Instruction Manual. You must first stop all media access on your K2 Media
Clients to ensure that they do not cause error conditions. You can power off the K2
Media Clients or take them offline using the K2 System Configuration application.
When powering up the K2 Storage System, power on the K2 Media Clients last so that
they can verify their media storage as part of their start up processes.
Taking a K2 Media Client offline
1. Stop all media operations on the device. This includes, play, record, and transfer
operations.
2. Shut down the K2 Media Client.
