Installation of the 990 EVO PLUS requires an available M.2 2280 slot on your motherboard. To install, ensure your PC is powered down and disconnected from the wall. Insert the SSD at a 30-degree angle into the M.2 slot, press it down gently, and secure it with the provided mounting screw. Once installed, initialize the drive within your operating system's Disk Management utility.
