Because release notes contain the latest information, they are printed out and included in the K2 product shipping box, rather than included in the Documentation CD-ROM. You should always check the Grass Valley Website to determine if there is an updated version of release notes available.
Using the Dell Server documentation This manual contains all of the information you need to install the K2 SAN, however, a full set of Dell server documentation has been provided on the Dell Product Documentation CD-ROM. The Dell server documentation applies to the K2 Media Server.
