SSD7505 Hardware Installation:
Step 1. On the rear of the SSD7505, 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
SSD7505.
Step 2. These 4 screws are used to install the NVMe SSD’s.
Step 3. Please remove the screws on the right side of SSD7505
Step 4. Gently insert the SSD into the slot.

Step 5. 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.
The following example shows four PCIe Gen4 SSD installed into
Port 1, 2, 3 & 4;
Step 6. Replace the heat sink after installing all SSDs
Step 7. On the rear of the SSD7505, refasten the 6 screws that were
removed in step 1.

Note ： Make 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 SSD7505. 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 !
