1. Introduction
1.1 General Description
SanDisk SSD SATA 5000 2.5" is designed to drive the shift of mobile PC
users and blade server users from the hard disk drive to the solid state
drive (SSD). A drop-in replacement for the hard disk drive, it delivers far
superior durability, performance and power efficiency ─keeping mobile
PCs and blade servers working optimally in the toughest of conditions.
SanDisk SSD SATA 5000 2.5" (SanDisk SSD), with 8, 16, 32 and 64
gigabyte1(GB) flash memory, is targeted at enterprise users as the first
step in mass consumer adoption of the SSD in the mobile PC market.
With no moving parts, SanDisk SSD does not need to spin up into action
or to seek files in the way that conventional hard disk drives do ─enabling
SanDisk SSD to work much faster.
SanDisk, the industry leader in flash storage, is uniquely positioned to
drive the paradigm shift in mobile computing to SSDs. Inside enterprise
computers, such as the thin & light laptops and transportable laptops;
SanDisk SSD delivers unbeatable durability, system performance and
power efficiency.

4.2 Mounting Instructions
Before unpacking and installing the drive, take anti-static measures in
order to avoid damage to the drive. The drive may be exposed to potential
handling and electrostatic discharge (ESD) hazards. The following
guidelines are recommended:
Keep the drive in ESD bag until the drive is ready to be installed.
Wear an ESD-proof wrist strap when handling the drive.
Avoid touching the drive’s connector. Handle the drive using its edge
or frame.
Rest the drive on an antistatic surface until mounting it.
Handle the drive carefully, taking care not to drop or bang it against
other objects.
Do not remove, damage or cover any product labels. Removal of such
labels voids the warranty.
The ambient temperature at the top cover should not exceed the
maximum operating temperature of the drive.
Exercise caution when removing the drive from the host as the drive
may have heated up.
The recommended mounting screw torque is 0.675Nm.
The recommended mounting screw depth is 4.0mm (0.157in) for
bottom for horizontal mounting.

8.1 Troubleshooting
8.2 Basic Checks
Most disk problems are caused by improper disk installation. If a problem
arises, the following should be checked:
Cable:
oImproper cable has been used
oCables are too long to support the transfer rate
oImproper cable connection to the device
Device connector: Improperly locked
Power supply: Below SSD requirements
8.3 BIOS Setup
Verify that the disk is enabled in the BIOS. In most new BIOSs, there is
an option for drive auto-identification.
8.4 Slow Drive Performance
Poor disk performance may be due to one of the following:
Check that Write Caching is enabled in the drive under the category
Properties.
