Notes

• The Raspberry Pi 5, M.2 NVMe SSD, and cooling fan are not included in the package.
• Please follow the tutorial to burn image in you NVMe HAT and enable NVMe to ensure your Raspberry Pi boots from NVMe instead of the SD card or OS.
• This kit exclusively supports M.2 NVMe SSDs and is not compatible with M.2 SATA SSDs, M.2 PCIe AHCI SSDs, or other M.2 non-NVMe devices.
• After discussions in the Raspberry Pi forum, it's been observed that Raspberry Pi may not boot from WD hard disks, possibly due to the Phison controller equipped with this SSD.
• The display and power buttons are preinstalled for protection's sake, but other parts are not preinstalled by default.
