Install Guide

Crucial

2.5-inch Solid State Drive

Equipment Needed

• Crucial

2.5-inch SSD

• Non-magnetic tip screwdriver

• Your system’s owner’s manual

Special Considerations

If your Crucial SSD will become your new primary storage

device, we recommend the use of data migration (cloning)

software to move old ﬁles from your existing drive onto your

new Crucial SSD. Data migration software is available at

Crucial.com as part of our Easy Desktop Install Kit or Easy

Laptop Install Kit packages. Data migration software is also

available from a variety of third party vendors.

Precautions

• To protect your system’s components from static damage

during the installation process, touch any of the unpainted

metal surfaces on your computer’s frame before handling

and installing your SSD.

• To protect your SSD, do not touch the connectors on the

drive.

• Do not open the drive enclosure. Doing so will void your

warranty.
