How to install XPG SX8100

• Power off your computer, unplug it, and open the case to access the motherboard.
• Locate an available M.2 NVMe slot (M.2 2280) on the motherboard. If needed, remove the mounting screw from the standoff.
• Insert the SX8100 into the slot at a slight angle (about 30 degrees) and push it down until it sits flush with the connector.
• Secure the drive with the mounting screw in the standoff hole. Ensure the notch aligns correctly with the slot’s keying.
• Power on the system and enter BIOS/UEFI to confirm the drive is detected. Enable NVMe if required and set the drive as a boot device if you plan to install an OS.
• Boot into your operating system and initialize the drive using Disk Management (Windows) or a disk utility (macOS/Linux) to create partitions and format the drive.
