Line up the small SATA connectors so that the narrow side of the connector on the SSD matches the narrow side on the enclosure connector.
Slide the drive in through the front of the enclosure until the SATA connector is fully seated.
The SSD's ports connect with the enclosure in only one way. If the ports are not lining up, rotate the SSD and try again.

Peel the backing off of the adhesive back of the small temperature sensor board.
Adhere the temperature sensor board to an exposed, metal area of the surface of the SSD, as close as possible to the SATA connector.
Fold the excess temperature sensor wires so that they are out of the way while you install the enclosure.

Шаг 6

Install the mounting pins from the old hard drive onto the sides of the enclosure.
The holes on the enclosure may not be threaded, so screwing the mounting pins into them may require extra effort. Take your time and screw them in slowly, making sure they go in straight.
