Quick Installation Guide
To install the Seagate® Nytro™ XP6209 card, follow these steps:
1.
Unpack the card and inspect it for damage.
Unpack the card in a static-free environment, and
follow good antistatic grounding procedures. Remove the card from the antistatic bag, and
carefully inspect the device for damage. If you notice any damage or if any component is missing,
contact Seagate or your reseller support representative.
CAUTION:
Back up your data before changing your system configuration.
2.
Prepare the computer.
Turn off the computer, and disconnect the power cord from the power
supply. Remove the cover from the chassis.
WARNING:
To avoid electrical shock, disconnect the computer from the main power and from any
networks before you install the card.
3.
Replace the PCI mounting bracket (system dependent).
If required for your system, replace
the half-height PCI mounting bracket that ships on the Seagate Nytro XP6209 card with the
longer bracket supplied. Save the two screws from the half-height bracket and use the screws to
attach the long bracket.
4.
Insert the Seagate Nytro XP6209 card in an available PCI Express® (PCIe®) slot.
Locate an
empty PCIe slot. Remove the blank bracket panel on the computer chassis that aligns with the
empty PCIe slot. Save the bracket screw, if applicable. Align the card to a PCIe slot. Press down
gently, but firmly, to correctly seat the card in the slot. The following figure shows how to insert
the card in a PCIe slot.
NOTE:
The card shape, size, and component locations might vary from this figure.
5.
Secure the bracket to the system’s chassis.
Install the bracket screw, if applicable, or engage
the system retention mechanism to secure the card to the system’s chassis.
6.
Replace the cover, the power cord, and power up the system.
Replace the system’s cover, and
