Installation Precautions

Quick User Manual

1.Please ensure that the PC power is turned OFF and the power cable is unplugged before removing the PC cover to install the SSD. Serious damage may occur if an HDD is removed or SSD is installed while the PC power is turned on. Even though many PCs and storage devices support the Hot Plugging (Hot Swapping) feature of SATA interface, we strongly recommend that you still turn the PC power OFF and then start the installation process.

Note: Hot Plugging (Hot Swapping) allows changing storage devices while the PC power is turned on.

2.Please disconnect all cables and disconnect the HDD from the bay and bracket properly and securely if you want to replace an installed HDD with an SSD. You should keep all the disassembled items safely, such as the bracket, screws, cables, etc., in order to install the SSD. If an existing SATA HDD is being replaced with an SSD, you can use the existing SATA interface cable and SATA power cable. If the SSD is being newly installed in your desktop PC, then you should prepare any necessary items such as a SATA interface cable, SATA power cable, 3.5 inch bracket, screws, etc.

3.A SATA interface cable that is longer than 1 metre may result in hardware detection failures or operational failures.

Note: SATA cables are compatible with all SATA interface types (SATA 1.5 Gbps, 3 Gbps and 6 Gbps).

4.Please check the terms and conditions of your PC manufacturer’s warranty since it may prohibit the user from disassembling the PC and self-installing the SSD.

5.This SSD 470 Series is designed, manufactured and certified for general desktop PC and notebook PC environments, so it is not intended or allowed to be used in enterprise server systems, workstations, and storage systems. If you need SSDs for applications or environments other than general PCs, please purchase a different product made specifically for such purposes.
