Installation Guide

Follow these steps to install an M.2 NVMe SSD into the mobile rack:

Step 3-1 & 3-2: Eject Drive Tray

Press the drive tray ejection button [push] to release the tray.

Step 3-3: Remove Heat Sink Cover

The metal heat sink needs to be removed before M.2 SSD installation. To remove, simply push the heat sink upward from the rear underside of the drive tray.

Step 3-4: Position and Secure M.2 SSD

To prevent incorrect positioning of the M.2 SSD, align the gap on the connector of the M.2 SSD to the drive tray's slot divider. Then insert the M.2 SSD towards the connector slot. With the M.2 SSD laying flat on the tray, slide the adjustable locker [⚙️] to secure the M.2 SSD.

Step 3-5: Apply Thermal Pads (Optional)

Optional: Remove the clear protective films from the small piece of thermal pads and place them on lower flash memory chip(s) to fill the surface gap between the chips and the larger thermal pad for best conductive heat transfer. Skip this step if the memory chips are at the same heights.

Step 3-6: Place Larger Thermal Pad

Remove the protective films from the larger thermal pad and then place it onto the heat sink cover.

Step 3-7 & 3-8: Reattach Heat Sink Cover

Place the removed heat sink cover back on. Press down both sides of the heat sink cover to secure [✔️].
