5  Do not install screws in the two screw holes on the side of SSD, which 
are occupied by the light pipe. See Figure 3-12. 
 
NOTE:  
1  This operation is only for 2.5” SSD. Don’t install any 2.5” HDD 
into the adapter; otherwise it will cause performance issue. 
2  The 2.5” SSD can be installed firmly into the 3.5” hard-drive 
carrier by the steps above so that the 2 screw holes on the side of 
SSD and occupied by the light pipe can be ignored. 
3  There is no quality or functional concern with the adapter 
assembly. Customer, Dell Factory, and Service team should take 
care when installing the assembly with 2.5” SDD into chassis.
