Qualified Servers for the Nytro WarpDrive 6301 Card

Due to unique weight, power consumption, and thermal dissipation requirements, the Nytro WarpDrive 6301 cards
are recommended for operation in servers that Seagate has qualified. Servers on the Seagate qualified server list are
tested in Seagate labs and confirmed to offer sufficient power and thermal support. Some adjustment to factory
servers settings might be necessary to achieve correct power and thermal settings. Contact your sales representative
for additional details. The following list provides information and requirements for the Nytro WarpDrive 6301 card. If
you do not meet these requirements, you void the applicable card warranty.
Weight: For all server types, do not ship the card installed or mounted inside a server. Ship the card separately,

and install the cards into the server at the final destination. This action prevents potential damage during
shipment. If the card is shipped installed in a server and is damaged during shipment, the applicable warranty
is void.
Power Consumption: The card consumes a maximum of 46.3 W of power to operate at full performance. If a

target PCIe® slot does not supply this amount of power, you must use the auxiliary power cable that ships with
each card. Insufficient power availability does constrain the performance capabilities of the card.
Thermals: You must install and operate the card with the correct thermal envelope with sufficient airflow. Fan

setting and placement of the card are critical to maintaining optimal performance and endurance. Because of
thermal constraints, you must provide a minimum of 300 LFM to the card.
When the card operates in another server type, you might not achieve maximum I/O performance. To find a list of
