Setting up the GS K2 Media Servers for Level 20R
The Dell PowerEdge 1950 is qualified as the platform for the GS K2 Media Server.
Do the following to prepare GS K2 Media Servers for Level 20R:
• Install the server in its permanent location. Refer to the rack mount instructions that
you received with the server’s product bundle.
• Provide power to the servers.
• Connect cables as follows:
Dell 1950 PowerEdge server
Connect the two iSCSI interface ports to media ports on the GigE switch.
Connect the A server to the A GigE switch. Connect the B server to the B GigE
switch.
Connect the motherboard GigE port 1 and GigE port 2 to control ports on the
GigE switch. Connect the A server to the A GigE switch. Connect the B server
to the B GigE switch.
Connect the Fibre Channel port to the RAID storage device. Connect the A
server to controller 0 and the B server to controller 1.
Make a direct connection between the serial ports of the two servers.
Take care to use the proper serial cable to interconnect redundant K2 Media
Servers. This cable supports the heartbeat mechanism whereby the servers
monitor each other’s health. It is a 9 pin serial cable, but it is not a standard
RS-232 null modem cable. The heartbeat cable is supplied with your system
(Grass Valley part number 174-8137-00). Refer to the K2 Media Client System
Guide for pinout details.
