how to install Micron 5400 PRO 960 GB SATA SSD

• Power down the system and disconnect it from any power sources. Ground yourself to prevent static discharge before handling the drive.
• Open the server or workstation chassis and locate an available 2.5-inch drive bay. If you’re replacing an existing drive, remove the old drive carefully and keep the mounting hardware handy.
• Align the Micron 5400 PRO in the drive bay and secure it with the appropriate screws or mounting brackets. Ensure the SATA connector and power connector sit firmly but not overly tight.
• Connect the SATA data cable from the motherboard or backplane to the drive’s SATA port, and connect the power cable from the power supply to the drive’s power connector. If your system uses a backplane, attach the cables per the backplane’s guidelines.
• Power on the system and enter the BIOS or UEFI to confirm the drive is detected. If needed, enable AHCI mode for optimal SATA performance.
• Boot into the operating system. Initialize the drive using your preferred disk management tool, create a new volume, format it with a suitable file system, and assign drive letters or mount points as required by your workloads.
• Update to the latest firmware from Micron or your OEM—keeping firmware current helps ensure compatibility, performance, and reliability. Monitor drive health through your standard monitoring tools to track endurance and error rates over time.
