ATTENTION: PLEASE READ BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION.

● If the SSD provided in this kit is larger in capacity than the hard drive

currently in your system, proceed to Handling Precautions.

● If the SSD provided in this kit is smaller in capacity than the hard drive

currently in your system, please confirm that the used capacity on the system hard

drive is not larger than the capacity of your new SSD. Perform the following steps

to determine the Used Space on the system hard drive:

1) Boot your computer to your desktop.

Figure 1: (C :) drive Properties

If the used capacity is greater than the capacity of the SSD, it is required that you move

some of your data such as pictures, movies, music, etc. off of the drive to an alternative

data source (e.g., external hard drive or USB drive) until the Used space is no more than

85% of your new SSD capacity. This will help to ensure that the imaging process is

successful. The following chart may be useful as a guide:

Adjusted HDD Used space = SSD capacity X 85%

After the cloning process has been successfully completed, these files can be moved back

to their original location on the hard drive.

Handling Precautions

To prevent damage from static electricity, observe the following precautions:

● Allow the drive to remain in the anti-static container until you are ready to install the

SSD.

● Wear a wrist strap and connect the ground strap to the computer case to minimize

static electricity.

● Use care in handling the drive. Do not touch the connectors.
