SSD – OPERATION
Note:
SSD destruction is only possible with units that were originally purchased with the SSD Kit Option. To
determine if your Crusher was purchased with an SSD Kit see the section in this manual regarding
Determining
if your Crusher is Capable of Destroying SSD Media
.
Warning:
Gloves are recommended for this operation as the SSD Anvil has many sharp tines and the
crushed SSD material may also be sharp!
Prior to destroying any SSD Media be sure to remove any protruding connectors, capacitors, or
batteries.
1.
To begin crushing SSD Media ensure that the correct anvil is installed within the crushing chamber.
Open the access door and look inside of the crushing chamber, the proper anvil for SSD crushing is
shown below. If the correct anvil is installed go to Step 3.
2.
If the HDD Anvil is installed in lieu of the SSD Anvil, the anvil will need to be changed. To remove the
HDD Anvil see the section within this manual regarding
HDD Maintenance
. Once the HDD Anvil has
been removed see the section regarding
SSD Maintenance
for instructions of how to install the SSD
Anvil. The page numbers for these sections can be found within the Table of Contents.
3.
With the proper SSD Anvil installed, make sure that the Steel Press Plate and Wear Plate are properly
positioned inside the bottom of the crushing chamber. Proper positioning of these plates will ensure that
the anvil is positioned for maximum effectiveness by piercing the "data holding" IC chips of the media.
The pictures below provide an example of how the Steel Press Plate, Wear Plate and SSD Media should
be positioned within the crushing chamber. Instructions regarding installing the Steel Press Plate and
Wear Plate can be found in the section regarding
SSD Maintenance
