Quick User Manual

1. Turn OFF the desktop PC power and disconnect the power cable.

2.Remove the desktop PC cover.

3.If the SSD is added in addition to the existing storage device, mount it in a 2.5”HDD bay. Next, connect the SATA cable and power cable to the SSD. If your PC is only equipped with 3.5” HDD bays, then assemble the SSD in a 2.5” to 3.5” bracket first and then mount the bracket in an empty HDD bay.

4.If you are replacing an existing HDD with the SSD, disconnect all cables connected to the HDD and then remove the HDD from the bay. Assemble the SSD in a 2.5” to 3.5” bracket first and then mount the bracket in an empty HDD bay. Next, connect the SATA cable and power cable properly.

Note: You may need proprietary chassis screws, rails or brackets to use in the drive bay.

Note: Desktop PCs have multiple SATA ports based on the PC chipset and motherboard model. It is recommended that the SSD be connected to the lowest numbered SATA port. Most desktop PCs have 4~6 SATA ports and each is numbered on the motherboard or indicated in the user manual. If SATA port numbers are not indicated on the motherboard or you are not sure about port numbers, then you can simply install the SSD on any available port.
