SSD7502 Hardware Installation:
Step 1. On the rear of the SSD7502, remove the four screws that secure
the unit’s heat sink to the PCB.
After removing the screws, carefully remove the heat sink from the
SSD7502.
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, but will also prevent the pad
from transferring heat away from the NVMe SSD’s and controller
componentry.

Step 3. These 2 screws are used to install the NVMe SSD’s.
Step 4. Please remove the screws on the right side of SSD7502

Step 5. Gently insert the SSD into the slot. Refasten the screw to secure
the SSD.
Repeat Steps 3 to 5 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.

Step 6. Replace the heat sink after installing all SSDs
Step 7. On the rear of the SSD7502, refasten the 4 screws that were
removed in step 1.
Note: Make sure the heatsink & fan assembly are properly aligned with
the controller board (PCB), and that it makes full contact with the
thermal pad, before refastening it to the SSD7502. If this assembly is
improperly installed, the fan, heatsink 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.
