- Step 1 — Power down and unplug: Shut down your computer completely and disconnect the power cable. For added safety, ground yourself to avoid static discharge before handling internal components.

- Step 4 — Connect data and power: Attach a SATA data cable from the motherboard to the drive's SATA interface, and connect a SATA power connector from the power supply. Ensure tight, clean cable routing to promote airflow and ease of maintenance.
- Step 5 — Reassemble and power on: Replace the side panel, reconnect the power, and boot your computer. In your operating system, initialize and format the new drive if prompted, then assign a drive letter or mount point as needed.
- Step 6 — Verify and configure: Check that the drive shows up in BIOS/UEFI and your OS, run a quick SMART health check if available, and set up backups or media libraries to protect your data.
