Chapter 8 Installing the Level 10R Storage System
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 L10R 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.
• A static IP address for the control network.
• For a redundant K2 Storage System, K2 Media Clients have one connection to the
A media (iSCSI) network and one connection to the B media (iSCSI) network.
Other iSCSI clients with just one media port connect to either the A or the B
network.
Additional steps that are required for Aurora Edits include the following:
• Implement Aurora Edit security features.
• Install SNFS software and K2 software.
For more information, refer to the Aurora Edit Installation and Configuration Guide.
Additional steps that are required for K2 Media Clients include the following:
• You must install Multi-path I/O software if the K2 Media Client connects to the K2
Storage System with a redundant Ethernet (iSCSI) fabric. For example, the
following K2 Storage Systems have a redundant Ethernet fabric:
• Level 2R
• Level 3R
• Level 10R
• Level 20R
• Level 30R
For more information refer to the K2 Media Client System Guide.
