Install an M.2 SATA drive
Warning! Drives should be handled carefully, especially when
they’re transported. If you’re not careful with your drives, you may
lose data as a result. Always handle storage devices with caution.
Make sure that you’re properly grounded by wearing an anti-static
strap when you install any computer component. If an anti-static
strap isn’t available, touch a large grounded metal surface for several
seconds to discharge any built-up static electricity.
Note: The screwdriver provided with the enclosure is meant to be
used with the M.2 mounting hardware and is too small to be used
with the housing assembly screws.
1. If the cover plate is installed, use a Phillips screwdriver (not
provided) to remove the housing assembly screws located on
either side of the USB 3.1 Micro-B port on the enclosure.
Note: The enclosure ships unassembled, so you don’t need to
remove the cover plate the rst time that you install a drive.
2. Depending on the length of your drive, you might need to move
the preinstalled mounting screw and stando. Place your drive
next to the drive tray and note the drive length adjustment hole
that matches the length of your drive. If the mounting screw
and stando are already installed in the correct position, use
the provided screwdriver to remove the mounting screw and
proceed to step 5.
3. On the reverse side of the drive tray, use a small set of pliers to
remove the nut holding the mounting screw and stando in
place.
4. Place the nut and stando that you removed in the previous step
in the drive length adjustment hole that matches the length of
your drive and tighten them.
5. Gently slide the connector on your M.2 SATA drive into the
corresponding M.2 SATA connectors on the enclosure. The
connector on your M.2 SATA drive is keyed so that it only ts one
way.
