This video will demonstrate the replacement procedure of an M.2 2230 or M.2 2280 solid-state drive on Inspiron 24 5410, 5411, 5415, and 27 7710 All-in-One computers.
This video shows how to replace the M.2 2230 or M.2 2280 solid-state-drive or SSD on Inspiron 24 5410, 5411, 5415, and 27 7710 All-in-One computers.
Before you begin, power off the computer and disconnect all the attached peripherals, remove any SD card installed in the SD card slot on your computer. Ensure that you always use ESD protection when working inside the computer.
To begin, place your computer on an elevated, clean, and flat surface. Place the display flat on the surface with the stand hanging over the edge. It is recommended to remove the stand to avoid accidental damage to the computer display when servicing.
To remove a stand, locate the tab on the stand, and push a scribe into the tab. This will release the stand from the display-assembly base. Similarly, remove the other stand.
Next, remove the back cover. To do so, place your palm on the middle of the back cover, and then pry the back cover from the display-assembly base starting from the top corners.
Then, lift the cover off the base. Next, remove the five screws that secure the I/O cover to the display-assembly base. Then, lift the cover off the base. Remove the four screws that secure the system-board shield to the display-assembly base.
Then, lift the shield off the base. Now, locate the M.2 2230 or M.2 2280 SSD on the system board. Remove the screw that secures it to the system board. Slide and remove the SSD from the M.2 card slot on the system board.
You have successfully removed the SSD. Now, let’s install the SSD. If you are replacing an M.2 2230 SSD with an M.2 2280, move the screw mount from the M.2 2230 SSD slot to the M.2 2280 SSD slot.
On the other hand, if you are replacing an M.2 2280 SSD with an M.2 2230 SSD, move the screw mount from the M.2 2280 SSD slot to the M.2 2230 SSD slot.
Ensure that the thermal pad covering the M.2 2230 or M.2 2280 slot on the system board is in place. Align the notch on the SSD with the tab on the M.2 card slot.
Then, slide it into the slot on the system board. Replace the screw that secures the SSD to the system board. Now, let’s replace the system-board shield, I/O cover, back cover, and stand.
Align the slots on the system-board shield with the ports on the computer. Replace the four screws that secure the shield to the base. Align the screw holes with the I/O cover with the screw holes on the display-assembly base.
Replace the five screws that secure the cover to the base and snap it into place. Align the slots on the back cover with the slots on the computer, and press along the side to snap the back cover into place.
Next, insert the stand into the slot on the back cover until it snaps into place on the display-assembly base. In a similar way, fix the other stand.
The M.2 2230 or M.2 2280 SSD installation process is now complete. You can now connect all the peripherals. If you need more information or assistance, go to dell.com/support
