SSD6202 Hardware Installation
Step 1. On the rear of the SSD6202, remove the four screws that secure
the unit’s heat sink to the PCB.
After removing the screws, carefully remove the heat sink from
the SSD6202.
Step 2. These 2 screws are used to install the NVMe SSD’s.
6
Step 3. Please remove the screws on the right side of the SSD6202.
Gently insert the SSD into the slot.
Step 4. Refasten the screw to secure the SSD.
Note: Make sure the SSD’s are carefully, but securely installed into
each M.2 port. Loose connections can cause a variety of stability
and performance issues, and may ultimately result in data loss.
Step 5. Repeat Steps 3 & 4 to install the remaining SSD.
The following example shows two M.2 NVMe SSD’s installed
into Port 1 & 2:

Step 6. Align and install the heatsink; on the rear of the SSD6202,
refasten the 4 screws that were removed in step 1.
Note
：
Make sure the aluminum cover is properly aligned with the
controller board (PCB), and that it makes full contact with the
thermal pad, before refastening it to the SS6202. If the cover is
improperly installed, thermal pad will be unable to sufficiently
cool the NVMe SSD’s and controller componentry, which may
result in damage to the SSD’s or controller hardware,
performance loss, unstable I/O, and the loss of data.

Note: The SSD6202 can create RAID arrays via RAID Switch settings.
(You can also create RAID arrays using the UEFI, CLI & WebGUI
tools).
RAID Switch: four options are available; when the system starts, the
SSD6202 will automatically create the specified array using the hosted
NVMe SSD’s.
None
JBOD
RAID 1
Note: Using the RAID Switch to configure an array will destroy any
data stored on the NVMe SSD’s. Make sure to backup any important
data before using this feature.

Note: There are four LED support in SSD6202
RAID LED: when the SSD6202 has no RAID, the RAID LED is
off. If there is a normal RAID in the SSD6202, the RAID LED is
green. If the RAID is fail (RAID Status is Disable or Critical), the
RAID LED is red.
PCIe LED: the PCIe LED turns off when there's no PCIe Link. If
the bandwidth is PCIe x8, the PCIe LED is green. If the
bandwidth is not PCIe x8 (PCIe x4 or x2), the PCIe LED is red.
SSD LED: when the SSD6202 has no disks, the SSD LED is off.
If the disks is active, the SSD LED is green. If any disks fail, the
SSD LED is red.
