    • If your M.2 SSD came pre-installed with a heatsink, make sure to check to see if it’s compatible with your UGREEN NASync Series NAS's specifications prior to installation.

    • While some M.2 SSDs come pre-installed with heatsinks, many do not. Attaching the UGREEN NASync silicone/thermal pad will help dissipate heat more effectively, keeping the SSD’s temperature within safe limits and allowing it to consistently perform at its best.

    • Using a pair of tweezers or your fingers, proceed to peel off one side of the protective film away from the silicone/thermal pad.

    • Align the exposed side of the silicone/thermal pad with the top-facing surface of the M.2 SSD, then proceed to lay the silicone/thermal pad on the surface of the M.2 SSD.

    • Use your finger(s) to lightly press down on the silisone/thermal pad to adhere it to the surface.

    • The opposite side will come in contact with the bottom panel, which doubles as a heatsink for the M.2 Solid State Drive(s).

    • Proceed to replace the bottom panel, then using a small Phillips head screwdriver, tighten the screws.

    • Once you have tightened the screws, you're ready to reconnect the power cord, network adapter and power on the device.

Conclusion

Congratulations. You've successfully installed an M.2 SSD in your UGREEN NASync Series DXP6800 Pro/DXP8800 Plus.
