Step 1. On the rear of the SSD7104F, remove the six screws that secure the unit’s heat sink to the PCB.
After removing the screws, carefully remove the heat sink from the SSD7104F. -
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, however, it canals to prevent the thermal pad from conducting the heat awayfromtheNVMeSSD if we don’t remove it.

Step 3. These 4 screws are used to install the NVMe SSDs
The SSD7104F can support any M.2 form factor (2242, 2260,2280, and 22110). -
Step 4. Please remove the screws on the right side of SSD7104F
-
Step 5. Gently insert the SSD into the slot.
Note: Please make sure all disks are clean before you insert them into the slot to avoid unexpected situations. -
Step 6. Refasten the screw to secure the SSD.
Note: Make sure the SSDs are carefully, but securely installed into each M.2 port. Loose connections can cause a variety of ability and performance issues, and may ultimately result in data loss.
The following example shows four M.2 SSDs installedintoPorts1-4: -
Step 7. Replace the heat sink after installing all SSDs
-
Step 8. On the rear of the SSD7104F, refasten the six screws that were removed in step 1.
Note： Make sure the aluminum cover is properly aligned with the controller board (PCB), and that it makes full contact with the thermal pad, before refastening it to the SSD7204. If the cover is improperly installed, the fan and thermal pad will be unable to suficientlycooltheNVMe SSDs and controller componentry, which may result in damage to the SSDs or controller hardware, performance loss, unstable, and the loss of data.
Note: Please be sure to connect NVMe before using the product to reduce
the occurrence of unnecessary errors!
Note: Install the driver in the system first and then install the board!
