    • Hold the SSD by its edges. Don't touch the gold contacts with your fingers. If you do, wipe the contacts with a clean, lint-free cloth to remove any finger oils.

    • Align the SSD's gold contacts with its socket.

    • Insert the SSD into the socket at a shallow angle. The gold contacts should mostly be covered by the socket.

    • The SSD fits into the socket in one orientation. If it doesn't feel like it fits, try flipping the module.

    • Use your finger to press down on the black SSD latch to keep it open.

    • Use another finger to press the SSD down until it lays flat.

    • If the SSD doesn't fit in the latch, you may need to insert the SSD further into its socket.

    • Use your finger to close the latch to secure the SSD.

    • You should hear a click, and the SSD should no longer pop up.
