On a K2 SAN system, Grass Valley requires that you use SiteConfig to install K2 system software. On a standalone K2 Summit system Grass Valley recommends SiteConfig but allows manual installation as well. You can access software on your K2 Summit system's USB Recovery Flash Drive and via download from the Grass Valley website. On the USB Recovery Flash Drive, find SiteConfig *.cab files in the ProductFrame directory and find manual installation files in the release directory.
