measures for your equipment. Before removing components from the antistatic foam, touch a
grounded metal object.

ensure that the fan cable is on the same side as
the PCIe connector notch of the SSD. Then align
the heatsink's screw holes with the base plate.

in alignment using even, gentle pressure.
Ensure SSD orientation is correct
