Connect an SSD to the adapter card
Warning! Drives should be handled carefully, especially when you transport them. If
you’re not careful with your drives, you may experience lost or corrupted data. Make
sure that you’re properly grounded by wearing an anti-static strap when you install
any computer component. If an anti-static strap isn’t available, touch a large, grounded
metal surface for several seconds to discharge any built-up static electricity.
1. Carefully slide the SSD into the drive adapter card and connect it to the SFF-8639
connector on the card.
2. Turn the drive adapter card over.
3. Use a Phillips screwdriver and insert the four drive-mounting screws into the
mounting holes on the drive adapter card and into the SSD.
4. Tighten the screws.
Install the adapter card
Warning! PC components can be severely damaged by static electricity. If an anti-
static strap isn’t available, discharge any built-up static electricity by touching a large,
grounded metal surface for several seconds.

(for example, printers, external storage, and so on).
2. Unplug the power cable from the back of your computer.
3. Disconnect any peripheral devices that are connected to your computer.
4. Open your computer case. For more information about how to do this, consult
the documentation that came with your computer system.
5. Locate an open PCIe slot and remove the corresponding metal cover plate from
the back of your computer case. Consult the documentation that came with your
computer system for detailed instructions about how to do this.
Note: This drive adapter card works in PCIe slots of x4, x8, or x16 lanes.

About the LED terminal
You can connect an LED (not included) to the LED terminal on the drive adapter card.
The LED terminal generates an activity LED, but the exact behavior of the LED indicator
