Product Usage Instructions

1. Place the housing on a suitable mounting surface with the LED field facing down and the USB connector facing left. Pay attention to the arrow markings on the right side at the back.
2. Push the rear cap above the arrow 5mm to the left. Carefully remove the cap and set it aside so that you know in which position the cap will be put back on.
3. Slide the inner part of the housing completely out to the lower left. Set the aluminum housing aside so that you know how to put it back together. Orient yourself to the arrow at the back top right.
4. Place the inner part on the table and align the sliding bar in the mechanism in the housing according to the length of your NVMe. Position the bar exactly over the corresponding openings in the rail.
5. Place the NVMe SSD into the M.2 slot. It bounces up slightly, but can be pressed down easily. When you align the NVMe horizontally and press it slightly under the sliding bar, you correct the latch and press it slightly against the table. It snaps into place with a clear “click”.
6. Correct the length of the thermal pad. It has to cover the chips of the NVMe SSD over the entire length, but should not protrude beyond the ends. The width usually does not have to be corrected.
7. Remove the foil from one side of the thermal pad and place it on the NVMe SSD. Press the thermal pad lightly against the NVMe SSD. The NVMe SSD must not bounce loosely, but must be firmly clamped under the latch. Now carefully remove the second foil.
8. Slide the housing back together, orienting yourself by the arrow at the top rear right. Wipe off any residues of the thermal pad on the edge of the casing. If everything is seated correctly, place the housing back on the table, put the cap back on the open end slightly offset by 5mm, and slide the cap back to the right.

INSTALLING THE SSD MEMORY CARD

1. Place the housing on a suitable mounting surface with the LED field facing down and the USB connector facing left. Pay attention to the arrow markings on the right side at the back.
   

2. Push the rear cap above the arrow 5mm to the left. Carefully remove the cap and set it aside so that you know in which position the cap will be put back on.

3. Slide the inner part of the housing completely out to the lower left. Set the aluminum housing aside so that you know how to put it back together. Orient yourself to the arrow at the back top right.

4. Place the inner part on the table and align the sliding bar in the mechanism in the housing according to the length of your NVMe. Position the bar exactly over the corresponding openings in the rail.
   

5. Place the NVMe SSD into the M.2 slot. It bounces up slightly, but can be pressed down easily. When you align the NVMe horizontally and press it slightly under the sliding bar, you correct the latch and press it slightly against the table. It snaps into place with a clear „click“.
   

6. Correct the length of the thermal pad. It has to cover the chips of the NVMe SSD over the entire length, but should not protrude beyond the ends. The width usually does not have to be corrected.

7. Remove the foil from one side and place the thermal pad with the side without the foil on the NVMe SSD. Press the thermal pad lightly against the NVMe SSD. The NVMe SSD must not bounce loosely, but must be firmly clamped under the latch. Now carefully remove the second foil.
   

8. Slide the housing back together. Orientate yourself by the arrow at the top rear right. There will most likely be residues of the thermal pad on the edge of the casing. Wipe these off carefully. If everything is seated correctly, place the housing back on the table, put the cap back on the open end slightly offset by 5mm and slide the cap back to the right.
   

9. Keep the foil remnants in case you want to remove the NVMe again. To protect the thermal pad, put one foil back on the thermal pad and carefully take the pad down together with the foil and then put the pad on the second foil.
