GRASS VALLEY K2 BASECAMP EXPRESS, Installation And Service Manual

Page: 58 / 366

On the 10G RAID, you do not need to manually set a Fibre Channel address ID on controllers or a
chassis address on Expansion chassis.
As directed by the system diagram for your storage system, cable the K2 RAID devices using the
instructions in this section.
Once the RAID storage is connected and configured, do not swap Expansion chassis or otherwise
reconfigure storage. If you connect an Expansion chassis in a different order or to the wrong
controller, the controller will see a configuration mismatch and fault.
K2 RAID basic online/production
These cabling instructions apply to the following:
• K2 RAID (Condor with 10G controller) on a basic (non-redundant) online or production K2
SAN.
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.
