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. Assess the lengths of your drives to determine if the SSD installation standos require relocating. The board is labeled with the respective drive types for length, but if your drive length is unknown, place your SSDs next to each of the M.2 (NGFF) SSD connectors, note which drive installation holes match the height of your SSDs. If the standos are already installed in the correct position please proceed to step 6.
