Steps
| NOTE |
|
1) Unplug the console from its power source.
2) Lay the console horizontally on a flat surface. (The PlayStation logo should be facing down, and power button should be on the side closest to you.)
3) Gently pry the cover off the console. Apply pressure to the top left corner while pulling up and to the right to unlock the plastic case from its housing. Remove and set aside.
4) Unscrew the port that covers the housing for the SSD. You will need a number 1 Phillips head screwdriver. The housing for the SSD is located in a compartment above the console's fan.
5) Install the SSD. First, insert it at an angle, then slowly press it down and secure it with the offset ring.
6) Put the cover back on the SSD port and screw it down. 
7) Place the cover back on the console. Line up the plastic clamps that secure the cover and press down until it clicks.
