If the SSDs already contain data, it is necessary to perform a backup before carrying
out the installation.
• Unscrew the screws and nuts attached centrally in front of the four SATA connection strips.
• Connect your SSDs with the connector strips. Do not use any force.
• Secure the SSDs with the screws and nuts in the appropriate screw hole (2230, 2242, 2260,
2280).
