Install 9.6P9 on FAS8020 without upgrade

Hi ,

we have FAS 8020, and not serving any data, currently it has 8.2.3P3 7 mode. now i wanted to convert the system to C mode with latest version. I am planning to have 9.6P9. 

I need suggestion here, whether i can directly install 9.6P9 Image, since this system is not serving any data. and how to perform

Regards

Kamal
