Driver Installation; Technical Data - Renkforce M.2 Bedienungsanleitung

Driver installation

• The required drivers are already included in the operating system. For that reason
the delivery does not include any separate storage medium.
• Keep in mind that you will need a suitable USB 3.1 controller for using the USB 3.1
function. Many mother boards integrate such controllers already, but the controller
can also be added by using an additional plug-in card.
Connection
• Turn on the computer. Wait until the operating system has fully started.
• Connect the product to your computer.
The USB cable provided can be used to connect to a USB 3.0 port.
For connection to a computer with a USB 3.1 Gen II port, a separately
available cable is required (USB-C™ to USB-C™).
• The operating system will automatically recognize the product during first time
operation and complete the driver installation. The drivers are already included in
the operating system.
In order for the drive to be displayed in the device manager and to be ready
for use, partition and format the SSD, if new (see next chapter).
Partitioning/formatting the SSD
• You can partition the SSD using Windows
• Then format the new partition. Quick formatting is sufficient in such a case.
Performing a normal formatting procedure can take a very long time to complete
depending on the SSD capacity.
• Contact an expert if you have any doubts regarding partitioning/formatting.
Tips and notes
• To operate at USB 3.1 speed, your computer must support the USB 3.1 standard.
• You may also operate the product via USB 3.0, but in such case it can not reach
the speed of USB 3.1.
• If you want to connect the product via a USB hub, the USB hub has to support
USB 3.1 for the maximum transfer rate (max. 10 Gb/s) to be possible. Apart from
that, the USB hub must support USB 3.0 the least.
• Please note that if disconnecting the connection cable during data transmission files
could be damaged or the operating system could shutdown. First safely remove
the SSD through the operating system before disconnecting the connection cable.
• The LED lights up when the product is supplied with power. The LED starts flashing
when reading/writing operations access the SSD.
• When connecting the SSD for the first time, it could take approx. one minute for
the SSD to be recognized. The length of this time period varies depending on the
operating system.

• Disconnect the product from the operating system before cleaning. Disconnect the
cable from the product.
• Under no circumstances use aggressive cleanings agents, cleaning alcohol or other
chemical solutions since these can penetrate the housing or impair functionality.
