Installing the Device

NOTE-
Please read the Hardware Requirements on page 5
WARNING!
Upgrade Previous Devices First
If you have Fusion ioMemory ioDrive devices configured for ioMemory VSL 2.x or earlier that you wish to use
with Fusion ioMemory VSL software version 3.x, you must upgrade the firmware on the previously installed
devices before installing new devices in the system. See the Fusion ioMemory VSL Release Notes for full Upgrade
Notes.
WARNING!
Only Transport This Product in the SanDisk Provided Packaging or a Safe Shipping Configuration
We recommend saving the product box and electrostatic discharge (ESD) bag in case you need to store, transport,
or return your device. The Fusion ioMemory device product box is the safest way to store or transport your
Fusion ioMemory device. It is made of ESD-safe materials and protects the device from damage in shipping.
Do not transport the Fusion ioMemory device without replacing it in the SanDisk provided packaging, unless you
have ensured that the alternative mode of transportation is safe and will not damage the Fusion ioMemory
device. Specifically, transporting a Fusion ioMemory device once it has been installed into a server or workstation
(as applicable) may damage the device or interfere with its proper installation and operation. Transportation
configurations should be tested carefully prior to putting the Fusion ioMemory device at risk of damage. Damage
to the Fusion ioMemory device caused when transported within a server or workstation, transported in
inadequate packaging, or resulting from general physical mishandling will void the warranty for the product.

Installation Instructions

ATTENTION!
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. Be sure that you are properly grounded before
beginning any hardware installation procedure.
ATTENTION!
Do Not Disassemble the Device
If you disassemble your Fusion ioMemory device, you will void the product warranty. Removing (and replacing)
the bracket as instructed in this guide is not considered disassembly.
These installation instructions are for any SanDisk Fusion ioMemory device except the ioDrive Octal device. For ioDrive
Octal devices, consult Installing ioDrive Octal Devices on page
if you have not done so.
