mSATA 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. Slide the mSATA connector on the SSD into the mSATA receprical connector on the

SAT32M257.

Instruction Manual

2. Press the drive down toward the drive mounting bracket, and drive the two smaller

screws included in the screw kit through the mounting holes on your SSD drive and

into the drive mounting bracket using a Philips head screw driver (not included).

3. The SSD has now been installed, and is ready to be implemented in your 2.5” SATA

drive application.

Refer to the manual for your SATA host device for installation instructions. The top or

side mounting holes and included screw kit may, or may not be required to assist in

your installation

Instruction Manual

Hard Drive Initialization

If the mSATA SSD is new or otherwise blank, it may need to be initialized and formatted

before use. Follow the steps below in a Windows interface to initialize the drive.

1. From the main Windows desktop, right-click on “My Computer” (“Computer” in Vista/

7 / 8), then select Manage. In the new Computer Management window, select Disk

Management from the left window panel.

2. A dialog window should automatically appear, asking you to initialize the drive.

Depending on the version of Windows, it will give you the option of either creating

an “MBR” or“GPT” disk. GPT (GUID partition) is not compatible with some older

operating systems, while MBR is supported by newer and older operating systems.

3. Once initialized, locate the Disk that says it is “Unallocated” (check the listed hard

drive capacity to conrm it’s the correct hard drive) and then right-click in the

section that says “Unallocated” and select “New Partition”.

4. Follow the on screen prompts to initialize the drive in the format of your choice.
