Install Guide

Crucial® M.2 Solid State Drive

Equipment Needed

• Crucial® M.2 SSD

• Non-magnetic tip screwdriver

• Your system’s owner’s manual

Special Considerations

To transfer data from an existing M.2 SSD to a new M.2, we
recommend the use of data migration (cloning) software. Data
migration software is available from a variety of third-party
vendors.

Precautions

• Static electricity can damage computer-related components.
To protect your system and your new Crucial M.2 SSD from
damage during the installation process, touch an unpainted
metal surface on your computer’s frame or wear an ESD wrist
strap before handling internal components. Either method
will safely discharge static electricity that’s naturally present in
your body.

• When handling your M.2 SSD, be sure to hold it along the side
edges using your thumb and index finger. Avoid touching the
components and connectors, as damage can occur.
