Preparing K2 Storage System clients

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.

Power on the L30R RAID chassis

Connect power cords and power up RAID storage devices as follows:

1. Verify power and cabling.

2. Press and hold down the power button on the controller, as shown.

If the RAID chassis has two controllers, you can press the power button on either
controller. You do not need to press both power buttons.

Pressing the power button on a controller also powers on any connected Expansion
chassis. There are no power buttons on Expansion chassis.

3. Release the power button when the Power Good LED on the power supply is

illuminated. This takes 1-3 seconds.

4. Wait while the primary RAID chassis performs self-test and initialization. This

takes about four minutes. While this is taking place, the RDY LED is illuminated
with a steady on light.

5. Watch for the RDY LED to begin blinking at one second intervals. The LED might

turn off and back on two times before starting the one second blink pattern. When
the RDY LED is blinking at one second intervals, the self-test and initialization is
complete and the chassis is ready for use.

Your preparations for L30R RAID storage are now complete.

Preparing K2 Storage System clients

Any devices that function as iSCSI clients to the K2 Storage System must be prepared
with the following requirements:

• One or more connections to the control network.
