About identifying disks

The Identify feature allows you to flash the disk LEDs so that you can physically
locate a specific disk module or group of disk modules that make up a LUN. Always
use the disk identify feature before removing and replacing a failed disk module.
Accidentally removing the wrong disk module can destroy all data on the disk drives.

You can also use this feature to verify the K2 system to which you are currently
connected.

Identifying internal disks

To identify internal storage RAID disks do the following:

1. Open Storage Utility and in the tree view expand all nodes so that all disks are

displayed. Disks are configured as RAID 1 (shown as for Summit) or RAID 0.

2. On the K2 Summit Production Client, remove the front bezel assembly. On the K2

Solo Media Server, disk LEDs are visible without removing the bezel.

NOTE: Replace the bezel assembly within one minute to maintain system cooling.

3. The tables below illustrates the position of drives as numbered in the K2 product

chassis. Compare the drive number positions and the disk numbering displayed in
Storage Utility to identify drive locations.
