Notes:
• HDD/SSD drives are sensitive to static electricity and must
be handled properly to prevent the risk of data loss. Always
handle your HDD/SSD drive with caution by wearing an
anti-static strap (such as Tripp Lite’s P999-000) when
transporting it or by touching a grounded metal surface to
discharge yourself of static electricity prior to picking up the
drive.
• When disconnecting the drive, make sure to go through
the proper disconnection steps of your operating system.
Removing the drive with improper disconnection can result
in data loss or corruption.
1. Pull out the hard drive tray and assemble the
included silica gel plug into the SSD hole.

before it is recognized by the computer.
