Physical Installation Instructions for Intel®

Solid State Drive 750 Series

See the instructions below for how to install the Intel® Solid State Drive 750 Series hardware.

For compatibility with NVM Express* (NVMe*), use with a system based on an Intel® Z97

Chipset, Intel® X99 Chipset, or later chipset.

Before you begin

Disconnect the desktop board's power supply from its AC power source before you

connect or disconnect cables, or install or remove any board components.

Without first disconnecting the power supply, you risk personal injury or equipment

damage.

Caution

Some circuitry on the desktop board can operate even if the front panel power switch

is off.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage desktop board components. Install the board

at an ESD-controlled workstation. If an ESD-controlled workstation is unavailable,

wear an anti-static wrist strap or touch the surface of the anti-static package before

handling the board.

Prepare

Your board may have multiple PCIe* slots. The PCIe SSD needs a PCI Express* (PCIe) x4

connector. Best performance is with a PCIe 3.0 connector.

Page 2 If you are using a third-party (add-in card) video card, place it in the PCIe connector closest to CPU (F). Installation steps for Intel® SSD 750 Series Add-in Card (AIC) 1. Find the proper PCIe 3.0 connector. Remove the screw and shield from your chassis.
Page 3 Installation steps for the Intel® SSD 750 Series 2.5-inch drive 1. Mount the SSD in the chassis using screws to hold the SSD securely. 2. Connect the cable from the SSD (SFF 8639) to the motherboard connector (SFF 8643). 3. Connect SATA power to the connector on the cable.
Page 4 Make sure the electrical connection to the mini-SAS HD connector is PCIe, not SAS or SATA. NVMe SSDs only support PCI Express* signals. Note The SFF 8643 connector is also called a mini-SAS HD connector. The SFF 8639 may also be called a SATA-express* drive connector with more signals.
