SuperNova Drive Datasheet 9.0 INSTALLATION BEFORE GETTING STARTED 1. Back Up Your Data VISUAL INSPECTION 1. Before unpacking and handling the SSD, discharge the static electricity by touching the metal chassis of your computer or by using an anti-static wrist strap 2. Inspect the box and device for the following a. Box is damaged or water-stained b. Any damage to the SSD HANDLING THE SSD 1. Be cautious when unpacking, installing, and handling the SSD drive. Misuse of the SSD voids all warranty.
SuperNova Drive Datasheet 6. A BIOS sign-on message appears and displays a key sequence to enter the BIOS setup. Set up the BIOS to recognize the SSD. USING THE SSD IN A MS-DOS OS The SSD is already partitioned and formatted by NTFS, so if you want to install MS-DOS O/S on the SSD, it should be re-partitioned and re-formatted. After installing the SSD, it must be installed as a disk drive under DOS. Run the DOS commands as listed below and follow the instructions displayed for each command. 1.
