How to install Cisco Enterprise 960 GB Solid State Drive - 2.5" Internal - SATA (SATA/600)

• Power down the server or workstation and disconnect it from the power source to ensure a safe installation environment.
• If you are replacing an existing drive, remove the old drive from its bay or hot-swap tray according to your chassis guidelines. If you are adding to a new array, prepare an available drive bay or hot-swap slot.
• Insert the Cisco Enterprise 960 GB SSD into the available 2.5" drive bay or hot-swap tray and secure it with the appropriate screws or locking mechanism provided by the chassis.
• Connect the SATA data cable and the power cable (or seat the drive into the backplane if using a hot-swap backplane) as required by your server or workstation configuration.
• Power on the system, enter the BIOS/UEFI or RAID controller utility, and initialize or configure the new drive as part of the existing storage array or as a standalone volume. Format the drive within the operating system if needed and assign drive letters or mount points as appropriate.
