SSD Notebook Installation 
 
Quick Start Guide 
 
 
 
IMORTANT CONSIDERATIONS –  
Please read before you begin: 
• 
Your new PNY SSDs is a 2.5” SATA II (Serial ATA 2
nd
 
generation) drive, and is backwards compatible with SATA I.  
Please consult your system specifications for compatibility. 
• 
If you are installing this SSD in a desktop system or server, 
you may need a 3.5” drive bay adapter (not included with 
the PNY SSD). 
• 
PNY SSDs are intended as replacements for traditional 
hard drives; please consult your system manual or 
manufacturer for instructions on installing a new hard drive 
or SSD. This procedure will vary by system manufacturer 
and model. Sample instructions are available at 
www.pny.com/SSD 
• 
PNY SSDs are shipped without any operating system, 
programs, or data installed.  
• 
If you are replacing your boot drive, it is recommended that 
you “clone” the existing hard disk onto your SSD before you 
do anything else. This may require software and/or a 
special cable or connector (not included with the PNY SSD).  
NOTE: Most clone utilities will only work if the space used 
on your current hard drive is less than or equal to the 
available space on your new SSD.  
• 
If you do not have a clone utility, or the amount of used 
storage on your current HDD exceeds the available space 
on your new SSD, you will need to backup your data from 
your current hard drive, install your OS and applications 
from scratch, and then restore your data onto your new 
SSD. Please be sure that you have the necessary 
installation disks for your OS and programs. 
• 
As with any computer upgrade, please ensure you are 
properly grounded and free of static electricity before 
continuing. 
• 
PNY is not responsible for lost or missing data or damage 
to your system resulting from installation of this SSD. 
• 
If you are not familiar or comfortable with the installation 
process for your new drive, it is highly recommended that 
you visit your local Computer Retailer or Service Center for 
assistance. 
 
 
 
What you will need: 
•  Your new PNY SSD 
•  Your notebook computer 
•  Your notebook computer’s user manual 
•  A Phillips screwdriver 
•  Your OS (Operating System) CD/DVD, or other

3.  Turn the notebook upside down and remove the 
battery. 
4.  Locate the hard drive panel on the bottom of 
your notebook (Refer to your user manual). 
 
5.  Unscrew and remove the panel.
