How to Install Micron 2400 512 GB NVMe SSD
- Power down your computer completely and unplug from power. Ground yourself to prevent static discharge before handling components.
- Open the chassis or access panel to locate the M.2 slot on the motherboard or TCG/adapter board. Ensure there is an available M.2 2280 slot that supports PCIe NVMe.
- Carefully align the notches on the Micron 2400 with the M.2 slot key, and insert the module at a slight angle (about 30 degrees) until it sits firmly in place.
- Secure the SSD with the mounting screw provided by your system or motherboard kit. Gently press the card down to lie flush with the motherboard surface.
- Power on the system, enter the BIOS to verify the new drive is detected, then boot into your operating system. Use your preferred disk management tool to format the drive and assign a volume letter or partition as needed.
