Connect an SSD to the adapter card
Warning! Drives should be handled carefully, especially when you transport them. If
you’re not careful with your drives, you may experience lost or corrupted data. 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.
1. Carefully slide the SSD into the drive adapter card and connect it to the SFF-8639
connector on the card.
2. Turn the drive adapter card over.
3. Use a Phillips screwdriver and insert the four drive-mounting screws into the
mounting holes on the drive adapter card and into the SSD.
4. Tighten the screws.

Warning! PC components can be severely damaged by static electricity. If an anti-
