Kingston Technology SA400S37/120G Manual

Step 1: Preparing your workspace
You'll need to prep your workspace to install your new Kingston 2.5" SSD safely and properly.
It's recommended that you clear your workspace of anything that can build up static electricity
since it can damage your new 2.5" SSD.
1. Gather your supplies. You'll need your computer, a screwdriver and your new Kingston
2.5" SSD, along with your computer owner's manual.
2. Back up your important files. Before beginning to install your 2.5" SSD, save your
important files from your old computer storage to an external SSD, USB flash drive or
cloud storage.
3. Take your time. You have everything you need to install your new 2.5" SSD. Your
computer might look slightly different to the ones shown, but the process should be the
same. Read each step carefully. If you have difficulty identifying your computer
components, refer to your computer's owner's manual.
Step 2: Installing your 2.5" SSD
1. Shut down your system completely.
2. After shutting your system down completely, remove the power cable and battery. Only
remove the battery if you're installing a 2.5" SSD into a laptop. Refer to your owner's
manual to see how to safely remove the battery.
3. Discharge any residual electricity in your PC by holding down the power button for five
seconds. If you're installing a 2.5" SSD in a laptop, discharge your battery. You'll want
to discharge potential static electricity that might have built up in your laptop battery.
Remove the battery and hold the power button on your laptop for five seconds to
discharge any residual electricity.
4. Open your PC case. Each case is designed differently, so refer to your owner's manual to
see how to properly open your case.
5. Ground yourself as a precautionary step. Touch a metal surface that's clear of any paint
or coating to discharge any residual electricity that's built up in your desktop PC.
