Installation Guide

Your purchase of the SSD with Accessory Kit will allow you to enjoy the benefits of

increased system performance and reliability. All hardware and software necessary to replace

your internal hard drive with the SSD Solid State Drive (SSD) is included. The Acronis®

True Image HD software*, an imaging program that copies the contents of one computer hard

disk and loads those contents to another system drive, will take you through the cloning

process. This software allows you to move your Operating System and your personal data from

your current system hard drive to your new SSD. Once the Acronis®True Image HD cloning

process is complete and the data is successfully transferred to your SSD, your hard drive can

then be used as a secondary drive for data storage.

*The software provided in this kit does not support imaging/cloning of RAID or Spanned disk arrays.

There are tools and features included in the Acronis software that are not applicable to this product bundle. This

manual provides instructions for the Cloning feature only. Please refer to the Acronis “Help” menu, located within

the software application, for instructions on the use of any other software features.

System Requirements

Operating System: Windows®7, Windows Vista (SP1), Windows XP (SP3) and

Windows 2000 (SP4)

Pentium processor or higher

128MB RAM

CD drive for bootable media creation

Available SATA Connector for desktop installation

Available 3.5 inch drive bay for desktop installation

ATTENTION:PLEASE READ BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION.

●If the SSD provided in this kit is larger in capacity than the hard drive

currently in your system, proceed to Handling Precautions.

●If the SSD provided in this kit is smaller in capacity than the hard drive

currently in your system, please confirm that the used capacity on the system hard drive

is not larger than the capacity of your new SSD. Perform the following steps to

determine the Used Space on the system hard drive:

1) Boot your computer to your desktop.

2) Double-click on Computer (or My Computer) located on your desktop or via the

Start Menu.

3) Right-click on the C: drive and select Properties. The Properties window for the C:

drive will appear (Figure 1):

SSD

Desktop / Notebook

If the used capacity is greater than the capacity of the SSD, it is required that you move some of

your data such as pictures, movies, music, etc. off of the drive to an alternative data source

(e.g., external hard drive or USB drive) until the Used space is no more than 85% of your new

SSD capacity. This will help to ensure that the imaging process is successful. The following

chart may be useful as a guide:

SSD capacity Adjusted HDD Used Space

32GB 27GB or less

40GB 34GB or less

64GB 54GB or less

80GB 66GB or less

128GB 109GB or less

160GB 136GB or less

256GB 218GB or less

512GB 423GB or less

Adjusted HDD Used space = SSD capacity X 85%

After the cloning process has been successfully completed, these files can be moved back to

their original location on the hard drive.

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.
