Handling Precautions
To prevent damage from static electricity, observe the following precautions:
● Allow the drive to remain in the anti-static container until you are ready to install the
SSD.
● Wear a wrist strap and connect the ground strap to the computer case to minimize
static electricity.
● Use care in handling the drive. Do not touch the connectors.
Hardware Installation
1. Turn off the power to your computer and disconnect the power source.
2. Remove the system chassis cover according to the system manufacturer’s
instructions.
3. Attach the 2.5” to 3.5” mounting brackets (provided) to the SSD by aligning the
mounting screw holes on the brackets with those on the SSD and inserting the M3
flat head screws provided.
4. Locate an available 3.5 inch drive bay inside your computer and install the SSD
using the 6/32” pan head screws (provided).
Note: Your system may require proprietary chassis screws, rails or a bracket
system to be used with its drive bay(s). If this is the case, please attach that
hardware to the 2.5” to 3.5” mounting bracket for compatibility with your
computer chassis. Refer to your system manufacturer’s documentation for
instructions.
