3.1. M.2 NVMe SSD Installation (Tool-Free)

The MAIWO K1695 enclosure supports 2280mm M.2 NVMe SSDs with M-Key or B&M-Key interfaces. It does not support M.2 SATA SSDs.

1. Gently slide open the enclosure cover. The design is tool-free, allowing for easy access.
2. Align your 2280mm M.2 NVMe SSD with the M-Key slot inside the enclosure.
3. Insert the SSD firmly into the slot at an angle, then press it down until it clicks into place or is secured by the built-in retention mechanism.
4. Apply the provided thermal pad(s) onto the SSD to ensure proper heat transfer to the enclosure body.
5. Slide the enclosure cover back into place until it is securely closed.

3.2. Magnetic Cooling Fan Installation

For enhanced heat dissipation, you can install the included magnetic cooling fan.

1. Open the back cover of the enclosure.
2. Peel off the protective film from the magnet piece and attach it to the designated area on the inner side of the back cover.
3. Reinstall the back cover onto the enclosure.
4. Attach the magnetic fan to the top of the enclosure. The fan will magnetically snap into place.
5. Connect the fan's USB cable to a power source (e.g., a USB port on your computer or a USB power adapter) to activate it.

4.3. Performance Notes

The enclosure supports data transfer speeds up to 40Gbps. Actual read and write speeds can reach 3200+MB/s. However, the real speed depends on several factors:

• The specific M.2 NVMe SSD model used.
• The USB port and interface capabilities of your computer (e.g., USB4, Thunderbolt 4).
• Your computer's operating system and hardware configuration.
• The quality and length of the USB cable used.

The enclosure supports UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol) when operating on Windows 8.1 or above, which can further enhance transfer performance.

5. Одржавање

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your MAIWO K1695 enclosure, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Чишћење: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior of the enclosure. Avoid using liquid cleaners or solvents.
• Расипање топлоте: The enclosure features multiple heat dissipation methods, including an aluminum alloy shell, silicone thermal pads, an aluminum thermal pad, groove design, and bilateral hollowed-out design. Ensure the enclosure is not covered or placed in an area with poor airflow, especially during extended use, to allow for efficient cooling. If using the magnetic fan, ensure it is clean and unobstructed.
• Руковање: Handle the enclosure with care. Avoid dropping it or subjecting it to strong impacts.
• Складиштење: Када се не користи, кућиште чувајте на хладном и сувом месту, даље од директне сунчеве светлости и екстремних температура.
