WARNING!
SSD Drives and storage adapters require careful handling. If you are not careful
with your SSD Drive, lost data may result. Always handle your drive with caution. Be
sure that you are properly grounded by wearing an anti-static strap when handling
computer components or discharge yourself of any static electricity build-up by
touching a large grounded metal surface (such as the computer case) for several
seconds.
1. Slide the mSATA connector on your SSD into the mSATA reciprocal connector on the
PEXMSATA343
2. Gently press the drive down toward the metal mounting bracket clip, until the drive
clicks into place. The SSD has now been installed.
Note: To remove your SSD pull upward on the metal tabs located near the top of the
drive, then slide the drive out.
Hardware Installation
WARNING! PCI Express cards, like all computer equipment, can be severely damaged
by static electricity. Be sure that you are properly grounded before opening your
computer case or touching your PCI Express card. StarTech.com recommends that you
wear an anti-static strap when installing any computer component. If an anti-static
strap is unavailable, discharge yourself of any static electricity build-up by touching a
large grounded metal surface (such as the computer case) for several seconds. Also be
careful to handle the PCI Express card by its edges and not the gold connectors.
1. Turn your computer o and any peripherals connected to the computer (i.e. Printers,
external hard drives, etc.). Unplug the power cable from the rear of the power
supply on the back of the computer and disconnect all peripheral devices.
2. Remove the cover from the computer case. See documentation for your computer
system for details.
3. Locate an open PCI Express x2 slot and remove the metal cover plate on the rear of
the computer case (Refer to documentation for your computer system for details).
NOTE: This card will work in PCI Express slots of additional lanes (i.e.x4, x8, or x16 slots).
