SSD7502 Hardware Installation:
Step 1. On the rear of the SSD7502, remove the four screws that secure
the unit’s heat sink to the PCB.
Step 2. After removing the casing, carefully turn it over to view the thermal pad. The blue film must be removed from the pad before reinstalling the panel. This film protects the pad from damage and foreign objects prior to installation, but will also prevent the pad from transferring heat away from the NVMe SSD’s and controller componentry.
Step 3. These 2 screws are used to install the NVMe SSD
Step 4. Please remove the screws on the right side of SSD7502
Step 5. Gently insert the SSD into the slot. Refasten the screw to secure
the SSD.
Note: Please make sure all disks are clean before you insert them into
the slot to avoid unexpected situations.
Repeat Steps 3 to 5 to install the remaining SSD.
Note: Make sure the SSD’s
are carefully, but securely installed into each M.2 port. Loose connections
can cause a variety of stability and performance issues, and may ultimately
result in data loss.
Step 6. Replace the heat sink after installing all SSDs
Step 7. On the rear of the SSD7502, refasten the 4 screws that were
removed in step 1.
Note: Make sure the heatsink & fan assembly are properly aligned with the controller board (PCB), and that it makes full contact with the thermal pad, before refastening it to the SSD7502. If this assembly is improperly installed, the fan, heatsink and thermal pad will be unable to sufficiently cool the NVMe SSD’s and controller componentry, which may result in damage to the SSD’s or controller hardware, performance loss, unstable I/O, and the loss of data.
