Installation

Installation Guide (click on images for detailed instructions)

: Using suitable tools, release the holding clips, making your way around the case till it opens. I suggest watching some iPod opening videos on the internet.

: Rest the front and back side by side, be careful to not cause too much stress on the headphone ribbon.

: Before pulling the case apart, release the battery cable – lift the black lock bar -or- gently using even pressure pull up the battery ribbon away from the connector.

: Lift and flip back the hard drive. Gently lift the black bar to release the ribbon from the HDD.

: Remove all rubber bumpers and strips from the iPods if any remain after the HDD is removed. iPod is ready to accept the iFlash board.

: Install iFlash-Sata board in to iPod, Make sure ribbon is fully home and the black bar is locked down.

: Insert the mSata drive fully in to the connector at an angle, then gently push down till it locks on the iFlash-Sata.

: The iFlash-Sata is now installed.

: Remove the protective outer sheets from the thermal gap filler before placing on top of the mSata drive. Fold the piece in half for thick case back iPods.
