Data RAID Prerequisites

Data arrays are used exclusively for storage – they cannot be 1 boot a system.

1. You must have at least one NVMe SSD installed into SSD7104/SSD7204 controller.
2. The SSD7104 must be installed into a PCIe 3.0 and 4 lanes.

3. The SSD7204 must be installed into a PCIe 3.0 and 4 x16 lanes.

4. Operating system:

5. Windows 10 / Windows 2016 / Windows 2019
   • A Linux Distribution with Kernel 3.10 and later
   • macOS 10.13 and later

6. A motherboard that can support UEFI modes. Please check the SSD7104 Compatibility List and SSD7204 Compatibi List for recommended motherboards.

NVMe Drive Installation:

Take SSD7204 as an example:

Step 1. On the rear of the SSD7204, remove the six screws that the unit's heat sink to the PCB.

After removing the screws, carefully remove the heat sink f SSD7204.

Step 2. After removing the casing, carefully turn it over to vie thermal pad. The blue film must be removed from the pad before reinstalling the panel. This film protects the pad from damage a foreign objects prior to installation, however, it can also prevent thermal pad form conducting the heat away from the NVMe SS we don't remove it.

Remove the Cover Before Use

Step 3. These 4 screws are used to install the NVMe SSD's.

The SSD7204 can support any M.2 form factor (2242, 226 and 22110).

Step 4. Please remove the screws on the right side of SSD720.

Step 5. Gently insert the SSD into the slot.

Note: Please make sure all disks are clean before you ins into the slot to avoid unexpected situations.

Step 6. Refasten the screw to secure the SSD.

Repeat Steps 4 to 6 to install the remaining SSD.

Note: Make sure the SSD's are carefully, but securely insta each M.2 port. Loose connections can cause a variety of s and performance issues, and may ultimately result in data l

The following example shows four M.2 SSDs installed into Ports:

Step 7. Replace the heat sink after installing all SSDs Step 8. On the rear of the SSD7204, refasten the six screws t removed in step 1.

Note: Make sure the aluminum cover is properly aligned with the controller board (PCB), and that it makes full contact with the pad, before refastening it to the SSD7204. If the cover is improved installed, the fan and thermal pad will be unable to sufficiently NVMe SSD's and controller componentry, which may result in data to the SSD's or controller hardware, performance loss, unstable and the loss of data.

Note: Please be sure to connect NVMe before using the product reduce the occurrence of unnecessary errors!

Note: Install the driver in the system first and then install the
