M.2 NGFF SSD Installation

WARNING:

SSD Drives and storage adapters require careful handling. If you are not careful

with your SSD Drive, lost data may result. Always handle your drive with caution. Be

sure that you are properly grounded by wearing an anti-static strap when handling

computer components or discharge yourself of any static electricity build-up by

touching a large grounded metal surface (such as the computer case) for several

seconds.

1. Determine if the SSD installation screw and stando requires relocating by

assessing your drive length. The board is labeled with the respective drive types for

length but if your drive type is unknown, place your SSD next to the M.2 (NGFF) SSD

connector, note which drive installation hole matches the height of your SSD. If the

screw and stando are already installed in the correct position please proceed to step 4.

Instruction Manual

2. (Only required if the drive installation screw and stando requires relocating)

Remove the nut holding the SSD stando in place on the reverse side using a small

5mm wrench/nut driver, or needle nosed players (not included).

3. (Only required if the drive installation screw and stando requires relocating)

Remove the SSD installation stando, and reseat it into the drive installation hole

that matches your SSD. Replace the nut on the reverse side and secure it into place

using a 5mm wrech/nut driver or small set of needle nosed plyers.

Instruction Manual

4. Using the included Phillips head screw driver. Remove the SSD screw located in the

front of the SSD installation stando.

5. Slide the M.2 connector on the SSD into the M.2 receprical connector on the

Note: The connector on your M.2 SSD is keyed so the drive will only t one way.

Instruction Manual

6. Press the drive down toward the SSD stando, and drive the removed screw

through the mounting hole on your SSD drive and into the SSD stando using the

included Philips head screw driver.
