how to install Micron 3500 512 GB Solid State Drive

Installing the Micron 3500 in an appropriate system is straightforward. Begin by powering down your computer, unplugging all cables, and grounding yourself to prevent static discharge. Open the chassis or access panel to reveal the motherboard and the available M.2 slot. If your system already has a placeholder screw or a cover, remove it and keep it handy for securing the drive.

Carefully align the notch on the Micron 3500 with the key in the M.2 slot. Insert the drive at a slight angle (usually around 20 degrees) and press it down toward the motherboard once the connector is fully seated. Secure the opposite end with the mounting screw provided with your motherboard or case. Reassemble any panels, reconnect power, and boot the computer. Enter the BIOS/UEFI to confirm the drive is detected, then save and exit. Finally, in your operating system, format the new drive and allocate partitions as needed to begin using the space for your OS, software, and data. If you’re replacing an existing drive, you may need to clone your data or reinstall the operating system to complete the upgrade.
