How to install Kingston FURY Renegade 1 TB

Follow these steps to upgrade your system with the Kingston FURY Renegade 1 TB SSD:

• Power down your computer and disconnect all cables. Ground yourself to avoid static discharge.
• Open the case and locate an available M.2 slot on your motherboard. Ensure there is no existing drive obstructing the slot.
• Insert the Renegade 1 TB at a slight angle (about 30 degrees) into the M.2 socket with the notch oriented correctly. The connector should be aligned with the slot.
• Secure the drive with the mounting screw provided by your motherboard or case. Gently tighten until snug, avoiding over-tightening that could damage the drive or motherboard.
• If your system uses an additional heat sink or a motherboard-specific heat spreader, install it according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This helps maintain peak performance during extended workloads.
• Power on the system, enter the BIOS/UEFI to confirm the drive is detected. If you’re installing the drive for the first time, format it in your operating system’s disk utility and assign a drive letter or mount point as needed.
• Optionally update the drive’s firmware through Kingston’s software utility to ensure you have the latest performance improvements and security fixes.
