Serial cable specifications
Take care to use the proper serial cable to interconnect redundant K2 Media Servers that take the
role of file system/database 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) and has a pin configuration as follows:
1 – 4
2 – 3
3 – 2
4 – 1&6
