If you experience a problem with your Nytro WarpDrive 6301 card that you cannot resolve, report it to your FAE or, if
you obtained the product from an OEM, report it to the OEM. Keep these tips in mind when reporting a problem:
Clearly identify and report the revision level of the Nytro WarpDrive 6301 card. To view this information, use the

ddcli command, Option 1.
Report the part number (for example, H3-25455-xxx) listed on the label, and clearly identify the board revision.

Describe the steps leading up to the error.

Report the operating system version and the host driver version.

Power Consumption for the Nytro WarpDrive 6301 Card

The Nytro WarpDrive 6301 card draws its main power for operation from either the 12-V PCIe power rail, or from an
external 12-V power supply through the auxiliary power cable. Power comes from only one of these sources, not both.
Attaching the power cable causes the board to select the cable as the source of power.
The Nytro WarpDrive 6301card monitors the PCIe 3.3V rail to determine if the host server has lost power on this rail,
but the power consumed from this rail is negligible.
The PCIe 3.3V auxiliary rail powers a small nonvolatile memory on the Nytro WarpDrive 6301 card so that this memory
can update through the system management bus on the PCIe connector. Compared to the power consumed during
Nytro WarpDrive 6301 card normal operation, the power consumed by the PCIe 3.3V auxiliary rail is negligible.
For the Nytro WarpDrive 6301 card, sequential writes of 100 percent with an I/O size of 64 KB consumed the most
power. Seagate measured power consumption from the 12-V rail and the 3.3-V rails under a number of I/O loading
conditions to find this result.
Seagate tested an eight drive module configuration using 256-GB drive modules. The maximum power consumption
was 46.3 W during 64 thousand sequential writes.
Use the following data for power consumption measured with an I/O size of 64 KB:
Seagate Nytro WarpDrive and Nytro XP6000, Rev. 1.12
On, steady – Normal.
On, blinking – Lets the user locate a specific Nytro WarpDrive card in a rack of servers.
On, steady – Warning. One of the following conditions applies:
 Temperature warning. If this condition persists, you might damage your Nytro WarpDrive card. Increase
cooling for the card or shut down your system to prevent damage.
Other component issues: Run the list and health commands in the ddcli utility to determine which

component has an issue.
On, blinking – Firmware fault code:
Run the ddcli utility to determine which component has an issue.

 If no information appears, reboot the system and retry.
 If no information appears, contact
On, steady – One of the following conditions applies:
One or more SSDs failed (IT mode).

 At least one SSD has exceeded its temperature.
 Failed RAID volume (DD mode).
 No RAID volume is configured (DD mode).
 Backup power store failed.
Other component issues: Run the list and health commands in the ddcli utility to determine which

component has an issue.
If no information appears, reboot the system and retry the utility (DD mode).
