2.1 DRIVE INSTALLATION
1. Remove the product from its packaging and set
it on a static-free work surface as shown.
2. Flip the product over and note the location of the two
screws that hold the heat sink in place. Remove them, then
set the screws and the heat sink aside, and flip the card
over again.
For reference, the steps that follow show how to install an NVMe M.2 drive with a 2280 form factor (the
default). If you purchased the Accelsior 1M2 with a drive pre-installed, please skip to Section 2.2. Note that each
supported form factor has a drive post location silkscreened onto the PCBA, which you can see once the heat
sink is removed (Step 2). The process described below is otherwise the same for each drive type. Please review
all steps before attempting the installation; if you still have questions after reviewing them, please contact our
Support Team (Section 3.2) for assistance.
