How to install Dell S4520 1.92 TB SSD

Install the Dell S4520 like a standard 2.5" SATA drive in a compatible system. Prepare your hardware and follow these steps to minimize downtime and ensure a secure, reliable installation:

  • Power down the host system, unplug power, and ground yourself to prevent static discharge.
  • Open the chassis or server enclosure and locate an available 2.5" drive bay or drive caddy.
  • Remove any existing drive if you are replacing a unit, or prepare the caddy for a fresh install according to your system’s guidelines.
  • Connect the S4520 to the motherboard or backplane using a SATA data cable and attach a SATA power connector from the power supply. Ensure both connections are secure.
  • Mount the drive in the bay or caddy and secure it with screws or the retention mechanism provided by your chassis.
  • Power on the system, access BIOS/UEFI to confirm the drive is detected, and proceed with your operating system setup. In most cases you will initialize and format the drive within the OS or storage management software as needed.
