Safety Precautions - Use proper anti-static precautions while installing this PCIe card into the desktop computer. Failure to do so can cause damage to the drives and/or the computer. - Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the device. To avoid any risk of electrical shock, fire, shortcircuiting or dangerous emissions, never insert any metallic object into the device. If it appears to be malfunctioning, please contact technical support.
INSTALLATION 2.1 Installation Steps Please follow the steps below to install the Accelsior 4M2 PCIe SSD into a host computer with a compatible PCIe slot. Note: this card is susceptible to invisible damage if not protected during installation. For proper grounding, we recommend using a grounding strap. Work in a clean, static-free area, and avoid wearing clothing that retains static charges. Please visit this URL for more information: www.owcdigital.com/anti-static x16 1.
SUPPORT RESOURCES 3.1 Troubleshooting Many problems can be traced back to an improperly seated PCIe card or compatibility issues (e.g. installing the card in a slower PCIe 2.0 slot or a PCIe 3.x slot with too few data lanes to support the desired performance, or installed in a computer running an older version of Windows or macOS). Make sure that the card is seated properly and that the computer is configured to meet the system requirements noted earlier.
