Installation Guide

Your purchase of the SSDNow with Accessory Kit will allow you to enjoy the benefits of
increased system performance and reliability. All hardware and software necessary to
replace your Desktop PC's internal hard drive with the SSDNow Solid State Drive (SSD)
is included. The Acronis® True Image HD software*, an imaging program that copies the
contents of one computer hard disk and loads those contents to another system drive, will
take you through the cloning process. This software allows you to move your Operating
System and your personal data from your current system hard drive to your new SSD.
Once the Acronis® True Image HD cloning process is complete and the data is
successfully transferred to your SSD, your hard drive can then be used as a secondary
drive for data storage.

*

The software provided in this kit does not support imaging/cloning of RAID or Spanned disk arrays.
There are tools and features included in the Acronis software that are not applicable to this product bundle.
This manual provides instructions for the Cloning feature only. Please refer to the Acronis “Help” menu,
located within the software application, for instructions on the use of any other software features.
