how to install Kingston FURY Renegade 4 TB Solid State Drive

• Power down your computer and unplug from power. If you’re upgrading a laptop, ensure the device is turned off and the battery is disconnected if required by the model.
• Open the case or access panel to locate an available M.2 slot on the motherboard. Some systems may require removing a heatsink or an existing drive to access the slot.
• Insert the Kingston FURY Renegade into the M.2 slot at a slight angle (about 30 degrees) and press down gently until it sits flush with the motherboard. Secure the drive with the mounting screw specified by your motherboard or chassis kit.
• If your system has a heatsink or thermal pad, reassemble it as needed to ensure proper cooling around the M.2 module.
• Power on the system. Enter BIOS/UEFI to verify the drive is detected. In your operating system, initialize the drive and format it as you would with any storage device. For best results, align partitions and enable TRIM for prolonged performance and longevity.

Frequently asked questions
