How to Install Cisco 480 GB Solid State Drive

Installing the Cisco 480 GB SSD is straightforward, whether you’re upgrading a server, refreshing a workstation, or building a new deployment. Follow these steps to ensure a proper, reliable installation:

  • Power down the system completely and unplug it from the power source. Ground yourself to avoid static discharge.
  • Open the chassis and locate an available 2.5-inch drive bay or compatible drive tray in your server or workstation.
  • Prepare the drive tray or sled, then insert the Cisco SSD into the bay. Secure it with the appropriate screws or tool-less mounting mechanism.
  • Connect the SATA data cable from the motherboard or backplane to the SSD, and attach the power connector from the power supply. Ensure all connections are snug and routed to avoid interference with fans or moving parts.
  • Power on the system and enter BIOS/UEFI to verify the drive is detected. If necessary, configure the boot order or storage controller settings to recognize the new SSD.
  • In your operating system, initialize the drive as needed, partition it, and format with the desired file system. If you’re migrating an OS or data, follow your standard migration procedures.
