Installing K2 software
Except as noted in the preceding sections, when you receive your K2 Summit/Solo system, you do
not need to install software. The system has software pre-installed at the factory.
If you are upgrading software on a K2 Summit/Solo system, refer to related topics in "K2 Release
Notes" for that version of software for specific upgrade procedures. If you are upgrading a K2 SAN,
you must use SiteConfig with the proper sequence and upgrade all K2 Media Servers and K2 Summit
systems to the same software version. Upgrade K2 Media Servers first, then K2 Summit systems.
Refer to related topics in "K2 Release Notes" for the complete explanation of the rules that apply
to upgrading software on the K2 SAN.
Before upgrading K2 software, you should make a recovery image.
Pre-installed software
Software is pre-installed on K2 products when you receive them from the factory. Refer to related
topics in "K2 Release Notes" for version updates.
