Introduction

SSD installation prereq guide

What you need

1. Step 1 Install the SSD
  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.

3. Step 2
  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.
