DocumentDocumentSSD7104F 4x M.2 Port to PCIe 3.0x16 NVMe RAID Controller Quick Installation Guide V1.00 1 System Requirements PC Requirements System with a free PCIe3.0 (or 4.0) x16 slot Windows 10, Windows Server 2016 and Windows Server 2019 Linux kernel 3.10 and later MacOS 10.13 and later SSD7104F Kit Content SSD7104F Controller Card Quick Installation Guide 2 SSD7104F Hardware Front View Full-length black anodized, fan-less heatsink Low-Noise Cooling Fan PCIe x16 host interface with Smart 3 SSD7104F Hardware Installation 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 can also prevent the thermal pad form conducting the heat away from the NVMe SSD's if we don't remove it. 4 Step 3. These 4 screws are used to install the NVMe SSD's 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. 5 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. Repeat Steps 4 to 6 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. The following example shows four M.2 SSDs installed into Ports 1-4: Port1 Port2 Port3 Port4 6 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. NoteMake 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 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. 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! 7 Resources A variety of manuals, guides and FAQ's are available for the SSD7104F RAID controller.
