5. Opstelling

5.1. Installing the M.2 NVMe SSD

1. Carefully align your M.2 NVMe SSD with the M.2 slot on the JEYI SK4 adapter. The adapter supports various M.2 SSD lengths (2230, 2242, 2260, 2280).
2. Insert the SSD into the slot at an angle and gently push it down until it is parallel with the adapter board.
3. Secure the SSD with the provided screw or movable copper stud at the appropriate length. The adapter includes movable copper studs to accommodate different M.2 SSD lengths.

5.2. Installing the Warship iStorm Cooler

1. Apply the thermal pads to the M.2 NVMe SSD. Ensure good contact between the SSD chips and the thermal pads.
2. Place the Warship iStorm cooler assembly over the SSD and adapter, aligning the mounting holes.
3. Secure the cooler to the adapter using the provided screws. Do not overtighten.

5.3. Installing the Adapter into a PCIe Slot

1. Power off your computer and disconnect the power cable.
2. Maak jou rekenaarkas oop.
3. Locate an available PCI Express X4, X8, or X16 slot on your motherboard.
4. Verwyder die ooreenstemmende uitbreidingsgleufdeksel van jou rekenaarkas.
5. Carefully insert the JEYI SK4 adapter into the chosen PCIe slot, ensuring it is fully seated.
6. Secure the adapter to the computer case with a screw.

6. Bedryf

After successful installation, close your computer case, reconnect the power cable, and power on your computer.

• Bestuurder installasie: Most modern operating systems (Windows 10/11, Linux kernels 4.0+, macOS) have native support for NVMe SSDs and typically do not require additional drivers. If the SSD is not detected, check your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings to ensure PCIe slots are configured correctly and NVMe support is enabled.
• SSD Initialization: For a new SSD, you may need to initialize it and create partitions using your operating system's disk management tools before it can be used.
• Verkoelingsprestasie: The integrated Warship iStorm cooler with its fan will automatically operate to dissipate heat from the NVMe SSD, helping to maintain optimal performance and prevent thermal throttling.

7. Onderhoud

• Skoonmaak: Periodically inspect the cooler fan and heatsink for dust accumulation. Use compressed air or a soft brush to gently remove dust. Ensure the computer is powered off and unplugged before cleaning.
• Verbindingskontrole: Occasionally verify that the adapter is securely seated in the PCIe slot and that the SATA power cable for the cooler is firmly connected.
• Termiese Kussings: If you need to remove and re-install the SSD or cooler, inspect the thermal pads. Replace them if they appear damaged or have lost their adhesive properties to ensure effective heat transfer.
