Setting up the NH1 K2 Media Server for Nearline

If your system has one or two NH1 K2 Media Servers, prepare each server using this

The Dell PowerEdge 1950 is qualified as the platform for the NH1 K2 Media Server.

Do the following to prepare a NH1 K2 Media Server:

• 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 server.

• Connect cables as follows:

One NH1 K2 Media Server on a NL10 system

Two NH1 K2 Media Servers on a NL10R system

Connect the motherboard GigE port 1 (control) and GigE port 2 (FTP) to control
ports on the GigE switch. For the NL10R system, connect server A to GigE
switch A and connect server B to the GigE switch B.

Connect Fibre Channel ports to the RAID storage device. For the NL10 system,
connect one Fibre Channel port to the RAID controller. For the NL10R system,
on each server connect one Fibre channel port to controller 0 and one Fibre
channel port to controller 1.

• Assign a control network IP address to GigE port 1. Use standard Windows

procedures. Refer to
