Software Installation

The SAS/SATA software works on systems using the Windows® XP, Windows 7 (x86, x64)
Windows 8 (x86, x64), Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server
2012 R2 operating systems. 64‐bit Windows OS is recommended because it allows using
more RAM memory. Other Operating Systems limit the RAM to 3GB.

Insert the Installation CD ROM into the CD/DVD drive

on the host machine.

1. The installation automatically starts setup, unless Auto Run is off. In that case, select

the CD ROM from “My Computer” and click Setup.

2. After the warning to close all other programs and before starting the installation,

the Install component selection opens.

3. Select components for installation.
4. Click Next to complete the installation.

You must restart your computer before you can use your Analyzer software.

If you get an error message during installation of the drivers for Window, consult your
system administrator. Your system may allow only administrator‐level users to copy such
driver files.

Hardware Setup

Separate Systems

When using the analyzer, it is recommended to use a system to generate bus traffic and a
second system to run the software, to avoid characterization of traffic generated by the
analyzer.

Connecting in General

Note:

You must install the software before connecting the analyzer to the host machine for the first

time.

To set up the analyzer:

1. Plug the power adapter into the unit, and then plug the power adapter into a 100V–

240V, 50Hz–60Hz, power outlet. Turn on the Power switch.

2. Connect the USB cable between the Sierra M6‐1 USB port and a USB port on the

host machine. The host machine’s operating system detects the analyzer and driver
files.
