SSD Notebook Installation  
Quick Start Guide  
IMORTANT CONSIDERATIONS –  
Please read before you begin:  
Installation steps:  
Your new PNY SSDs is a 2.5” SATA II (Serial ATA 2nd  
generation) drive, and is backwards compatible with SATA I.  
Please consult your system specifications for compatibility.  
If you are installing this SSD in a desktop system or server,  
you may need a 3.5” drive bay adapter (not included with  
the PNY SSD).  
1. Turn off the notebook power.  
2. Disconnect all notebook power cables.  
3. Turn the notebook upside down and remove the  
battery.  
4. Locate the hard drive panel on the bottom of  
your notebook (Refer to your user manual).  
PNY SSDs are intended as replacements for traditional  
hard drives; please consult your system manual or  
manufacturer for instructions on installing a new hard drive  
or SSD. This procedure will vary by system manufacturer  
and model. Sample instructions are available at  
www.pny.com/SSD  
5. Unscrew and remove the panel.  
PNY SSDs are shipped without any operating system,  
programs, or data installed.  
If you are replacing your boot drive, it is recommended that  
you “clone” the existing hard disk onto your SSD before you  
do anything else. This may require software and/or a  
special cable or connector (not included with the PNY SSD).  
NOTE: Most clone utilities will only work if the space used  
on your current hard drive is less than or equal to the  
available space on your new SSD.  
If you do not have a clone utility, or the amount of used  
storage on your current HDD exceeds the available space  
on your new SSD, you will need to backup your data from  
your current hard drive, install your OS and applications  
from scratch, and then restore your data onto your new  
SSD. Please be sure that you have the necessary  
installation disks for your OS and programs.  
6. If there is a tab on the existing hard drive,  
gently pull it up and then to the outside to  
remove the hard drive from the bay.  
As with any computer upgrade, please ensure you are  
properly grounded and free of static electricity before  
continuing.  
PNY is not responsible for lost or missing data or damage  
to your system resulting from installation of this SSD.  
If you are not familiar or comfortable with the installation  
process for your new drive, it is highly recommended that  
you visit your local Computer Retailer or Service Center for  
assistance.  
What you will need:  
Your new PNY SSD  
Your notebook computer  
Your notebook computer’s user manual  
A Phillips screwdriver  
Your OS (Operating System) CD/DVD, or other  
means by which to install your Operating  
System and/or restore your OS, Programs and  
Data  
7. If your hard drive attaches to your motherboard  
via a cable, hold the cable's connector - not the  
cable itself - and gently remove the drive from it.  
Optional - 3.5” drive bay adapter for desktop or  
server installation
