Hardware Installation Instructions
3.
Replace the PCI mounting bracket (system dependent).
If required for your system, replace the shorter PCI
mounting bracket that ships on the Nytro XP6302 card with the full-height bracket supplied. Save the two screws
from the short bracket and use the screws to attach the full-height bracket.
4.
Insert the Nytro XP6302 card in an available PCIe slot that provides at least 40 W of power.
Locate an empty
PCIe slot. Make sure the PCIe slot provides at least 40 W of power. Without sufficient power the Nytro XP6302 card
may be damaged or run at less than optimal performance. Remove the blank bracket panel on the server chassis
that aligns with the empty PCIe slot. Save the bracket screw, if applicable. Align the card to the PCIe slot. Press
down gently, but firmly, to properly seat the card in the slot. The following figure shows how to insert the card in
a PCIe slot.

NOTE
The shape, size, and locations of components on your Nytro XP6302 card
might vary from this illustration.
CAUTION
For highest performance, make sure that the PCIe slot is PCIe 3.0 and
make sure that it has an active width of dedicated eight lanes.
CAUTION
The location must meet the 300 LFM (linear feet/minute) minimum
airflow requirement.
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.
