How to install Kingston FURY Renegade 1 TB

• Power down the computer completely, unplug the power cord, and discharge any static by touching a grounded metal surface.
• Open the chassis or access panel to locate an available M.2 slot that supports PCIe NVMe drives. Confirm the slot supports Gen4 to maximize performance, though Gen3 slots will recognize the drive as well.
• Remove the mounting screw from the M.2 standoff using a small precision screwdriver, then align the drive’s notch with the slot and insert it at a slight angle (about 30 degrees).
• Gently push the drive down toward the motherboard and secure it with the mounting screw. Ensure the drive is firmly seated and flush with the standoff.
• Reassemble the case, plug the system back in, and power it up. Enter the BIOS/UEFI if needed to verify the drive is detected and set as a boot or storage drive as desired.
• In your operating system, initialize and format the drive. The Kingston FURY Renegade 1 TB will appear as unallocated space that you can partition and format to your preferred file system (e.g., NTFS for Windows).
• Optionally, install Kingston SSD Manager or other Kingston software to monitor drive health, optimize firmware, and manage updates for ongoing performance and reliability.
