Notes:
• The following installation diagrams and instructions refer to the
P970-U2M2 being used with Tripp Lite’s PCE-U2-PX4 U.2 to
PCIe Adapter (sold separately) to establish an M.2 module in a
computer’s PCIe port. The P970-U2M2 can be used directly with a
motherboard that features an available U.2 port or other M.2-to-U.2
docks.
• PCI Express cards are static-sensitive devices that require proper
handling. An anti-static ESD wrist strap (such as Tripp Lite’s P999-
000, sold separately) or similar device should always be used when
handling.
• Handle the card with care when installing. Hold it by the edges and
not the interface connectors.
• When disconnecting the drive, go through the proper disconnection
steps of your operating system to safely remove it. Removing the
drive prior to proper disconnection can result in losing or corrupting
data stored on the drive.
• If your drive has not been formatted, you will first need to format it
using your computer’s disk management utility to copy and access
files.
