Installation Guide
Your purchase of the SSD with Accessory Kit will allow you to enjoy the benefits of
increased system performance and reliability. All hardware and software necessary to replace
your internal hard drive with the SSD Solid State Drive (SSD) is included. The Acronis®
True Image HD software*, an imaging program that copies the contents of one computer hard
disk and loads those contents to another system drive, will take you through the cloning
process. This software allows you to move your Operating System and your personal data from
your current system hard drive to your new SSD. Once the Acronis®True Image HD cloning
process is complete and the data is successfully transferred to your SSD, your hard drive can
then be used as a secondary drive for data storage.
*The software provided in this kit does not support imaging/cloning of RAID or Spanned disk arrays.
There are tools and features included in the Acronis software that are not applicable to this product bundle. This
manual provides instructions for the Cloning feature only. Please refer to the Acronis “Help” menu, located within
the software application, for instructions on the use of any other software features.

System Requirements
Operating System: Windows®7, Windows Vista (SP1), Windows XP (SP3) and
Windows 2000 (SP4)
Pentium processor or higher
128MB RAM
CD drive for bootable media creation
Available SATA Connector for desktop installation
Available 3.5 inch drive bay for desktop installation
ATTENTION:PLEASE READ BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION.
●If the SSD provided in this kit is larger in capacity than the hard drive
currently in your system, proceed to Handling Precautions.
●If the SSD provided in this kit is smaller in capacity than the hard drive
currently in your system, please confirm that the used capacity on the system hard drive
is not larger than the capacity of your new SSD. Perform the following steps to
determine the Used Space on the system hard drive:
1) Boot your computer to your desktop.
2) Double-click on Computer (or My Computer) located on your desktop or via the
Start Menu.
3) Right-click on the C: drive and select Properties. The Properties window for the C:
drive will appear (Figure 1):

If the used capacity is greater than the capacity of the SSD, it is required that you move some of
your data such as pictures, movies, music, etc. off of the drive to an alternative data source
(e.g., external hard drive or USB drive) until the Used space is no more than 85% of your new
SSD capacity. This will help to ensure that the imaging process is successful. The following
chart may be useful as a guide:
SSD capacity Adjusted HDD Used Space
32GB 27GB or less
40GB 34GB or less
64GB 54GB or less
80GB 66GB or less
128GB 109GB or less
160GB 136GB or less
256GB 218GB or less
512GB 423GB or less
Adjusted HDD Used space = SSD capacity X 85%
After the cloning process has been successfully completed, these files can be moved back to
their original location on the hard drive.
Handling Precautions
To prevent damage from static electricity, observe the following precautions:
●Allow the drive to remain in the anti-static container until you are ready to install the SSD.
●Wear a wrist strap and connect the ground strap to the computer case to minimize static
electricity.
●Use care in handling the drive. Do not touch the connectors.

1. Turn off the power to your computer and disconnect the power source.
2. Remove the system chassis cover according to the system manufacturer’s instructions.
3. Attach the 2.5" to 3.5" mounting bracket (provided) to the SSD by aligning the
mounting screw holes on the bracket with those on the SSD and inserting the M3 flat
head screws provided.
4. Locate an available 3.5 inch drive bay inside your computer and install the SSD using
the 6/32" pan head screws (provided).
Note: Your system may require proprietary chassis screws, rails or a bracket system

Setup and Use Acronis®True Image HD
IMPORTANT: Always uninstall Trial versions of Acronis software prior to installing a
full version!
1. Insert the Acronis True Image HD software into the system CD-ROM drive.
2. Restart the system.
3. The Acronis True Image HD CD is a bootable disk and will boot to the Acronis True
Image HD screen.
Note: If the system does not boot to the Acronis True Image HD screen and instead
boots to Windows, perform the following:
1) Restart the computer. While the system is restarting, run the system setup
program (BIOS). The BIOS can be activated by pressing a special key such
as ESC, F1, F12 or DELETE. (Refer to your system manufacturer’s
documentation for the correct key.)
2) While in the system BIOS, change the boot order so that CD-ROM is the
first boot device.
3) Save the settings and exit BIOS. (For more detailed instructions on
configuring the BIOS, consult your system manufacturer’s documentation.)
4) Restart the computer. When the computer restarts, it should now boot to
the Acronis True Image HD page.
