Thank you for purchasing the Verbatim SSD Upgrade Kit for the PlayStation® 4 (PS4™)! This booklet will guide you through the process of upgrading from an HDD to an SSD. The photos in these instructions will show installation steps using a PS4™ Slim, but the process is similar for all versions of PS4™.

1. Precautions

• Use of a computer connected to the Internet is required.
  This process may take a long time depending on the size of user data and game library.
• As with all electronics, please ensure you are properly grounded and free of static electricity before starting this process.
• Keep components away from humidity, water, and other liquids.
• Do not alter, modify, or disassemble the HDD or SSD.
• Ensure all connectors are firmly in place after replacing hardware.
• Verbatim is not responsible for lost or missing data or damage to the system resulting from this installation.

1.3 On the computer's browser, navigate to: https://www.playstation.com/en-us/support/system-updates/ps4/
1.4 Download the PS4™ Complete System Software file, and save it in the "UPDATE" folder you created in step 1.2. Save the file with the file name "PS4UPDATE.PUP" (without quotations). Note: make sure to download the complete system software file, not just the update file.

1.5 Safely eject the flash drive from the computer.

2.2 Turn on the PS4TM.

2.4 Select each component of user data that you would like to back up.

2.5 Click "Next" and then "Back Up PS4TM".
2.6 The PS4™ will now restart and copy all data that was selected for backup in step 2.4. This process can take a while depending on the size of user data.
2.7 Unplug the flash drive from the PS4TM.
2.8 Note: trophies cannot be backed up onto the flash drive. They should be backed up on the PlayStation® Network.

2.8.1 In the PS4™ menu, navigate to "Trophies," push the options button on the controller, and select "Sync with PlayStation® Network" to synchronize trophies to the PlayStation® Network (requires a PlayStation® Network account). For more information, see step 4.13.

3. Install the SSD

3.1 Fully turn off the PS4™ and unplug all cables.
3.2 On a PS4^TM Slim or Pro, remove the plastic angled drive bay cover located on the back right corner of the PS4^TM . For a PS4^TM Classic, remove the upper plastic panel on the top of the PS4^TM .

3.3 Remove the single silver screw on the back of the PS4™ using the included screwdriver.

3.4 Using the drive pull tab along the side of the PS4™, gently pull the HDD and drive bracket out of the PS4™ drive bay.

3.5 Take note of the orientation of the HDD inside of the drive bracket as the SSD will need to be installed identically. Remove the four screws that connect the HDD to the drive bracket (two on each side).

3.6 Remove the HDD from the drive bracket and carefully set aside.

3.7 Place the SSD into the drive bracket using the same orientation as the HDD and screw the four side screws back into place.

3.8 The gold connectors should be visible and inserted first into the drive bay. Slide the drive bracket with SSD back into the drive bay of the PS4™. Make sure to slide it all the way in to ensure the connectors inside line up.

3.9 Screw the single silver screw into the back of the PS4™ housing.
3.10 Replace the plastic angled drive bay cover or the upper plastic panel in the PS4TM housing.

4.10 Select the data to restore from the connected flash drive and choose "Restore."
4.11 Follow the prompts and select "Yes" to proceed.
4.12 The PS4™ will go through a series of menus, restoring your data.
4.13 At the PS4™ home menu, login to the PlayStation® Store to download purchased games or, alternatively, install games via physical game discs. This will take time depending on how many games are being installed. Trophies can also be restored from the PlayStation® Network at this point.
