Chapter 1 About the K2 Level 2 RAID storage

Configurations

The K2 Level 2 RAID minimum and maximum configurations are as follows.

The maximum configuration provides the most redundancy, and therefore the highest
degree of system availability.

The K2 Level 2 RAID Expansion Chassis minimum and maximum configurations are
as follows.

IMPORTANT: Grass Valley does not support mixing disk drives of differing
capacities in any RAID chassis. All disk drives in any RAID chassis must be of the
same capacity. For example, if a K2 Level 2 RAID and a K2 Level 2 Expansion
Chassis are connected, all the disk drives in both the K2 Level 2 RAID and the K2
Level 2 Expansion Chassis must be of the same capacity.
