Notes

HDD/SSD drives are sensitive to static electricity and must be handled properly to prevent the risk of data loss. Always handle your HDD/SSD drive with caution by wearing an anti-static strap (such as Tripp Lite’s P999-000) when transporting it or by touching a grounded metal surface to discharge yourself of static electricity prior to picking up the drive.
When disconnecting the drive, make sure to go through the proper disconnection steps of your operating system. Removing the drive with improper disconnection can result in data loss or corruption.

Pull out the hard drive tray and assemble the included silica gel plug into the SSD hole.
Place the M.2 SSD onto the card slot and rotate the silica gel plug to lock the SSD into place.
Peel off the film of the blue heat-dissipating silicone pad, paste the pad on the SSD, then paste the heat-conducting copper sheet on the pad.
Secure the tray in place with the included screws. Optionally, paste the faceplate over the LEDs with the acrylic tape side of the plate.
Connect the included USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 cable to the USB-C port on the adapter and the USB-C port on your computer.
Note: A partitioned SSD will be recognized as “New Drive” after being connected to the computer and can read/write directly. A new SSD will need to be partitioned before it is recognized by the computer.
