SSDNow Installation Guide

For instructions in English

Your purchase of the SSDNow with Accessory Kit will allow you to enjoy the benefits of increased system performance and reliability. All hardware and software necessary to replace your Notebook PC's internal hard drive with the SSDNow Solid State Drive (SSD) is included. The Acronis® True Image HD software*, an imaging program that copies the contents of one computer hard disk and loads those contents to another system drive, will take you through the cloning process. This software allows you to move your Operating System and your personal data from your current system hard drive to your new SSD. Once the Acronis® True Image HD cloning process is complete and the data is successfully transferred to your SSD, your hard drive can then be used as a secondary drive for data storage.

• The software provided in this kit does not support imaging/cloning of RAID or Spanned disk arrays. There are tools and features included in the Acronis software that are not applicable to this product bundle. This manual provides instructions for the Cloning feature only. Please refer to the Acronis "Help" menu, located within the software application, for instructions on the use of any other software features.

This device complies with Part 15 FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference. (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operations.

Pentium processor or higher
128MB RAM
CD-ROM or DVD drive for bootable media creation

ATTENTION: PLEASE READ BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION.

• If the SSD provided in this kit is larger in capacity than the hard drive currently in your system, please proceed to Handling Precautions.
• If the SSD provided in this kit is smaller in capacity than the hard drive currently in your system, please confirm that the used capacity on the system hard drive is not larger than the capacity of your new SSD. To determine the Used space on your hard drive, do the following:

1) Boot your computer to your desktop.
2) Double click on My Computer (Computer in Vista) located on your desktop or via the Start Menu.
3) Single right-click on the C: drive and select Properties. The Properties window for the C: drive will appear (Figure 1):

Figure 1: (C:) drive Properties

If the used capacity is greater than the capacity of the SSD, it is required that you move some of your data such as pictures, movies, music, etc. off of the drive to an alternative data source (e.g., external hard drive or USB drive) until the Used space is no more than

85% of your new SSD capacity. This will help to ensure that the imaging process is successful. The following chart may be useful as a guide:

SSD capacity	Adjusted HDD Used Space
32GB	27GB or less
40GB	34GB or less
64GB	54GB or less
80GB	66GB or less
128GB	109GB or less
160GB	136GB or less
256GB	218GB or less
512GB	423GB or less

Adjusted HDD Used space = SSD capacity X 85%

After the cloning process has been successfully completed, these files can be moved back to their original location on the hard drive.

Handling Precautions

To prevent damage from static electricity, observe the following precautions:

• Allow the drive to remain in the anti-static container until you are ready to install the SSD.
• Wear a wrist strap and connect the ground strap to the computer case to minimize static electricity.
• Use care in handling the drive. Do not touch the connectors.
