Installing an SSD in the Alesis Fusion

It is best to read this document through – as there are a few items you will require to

complete this project, apart from the SSD as received . . . .

1 ! ".#$ to %.#$ cradle adaptor to mount the ".#$ SSD in a %.#$ space." ! ".#$ to %.#$ adaptor for the D!&! and '()*+ so the usion-s ribbon cable

will fit the SSD-s ".#$ arrangement. 'ower is by standard (/*0 with "

wires only.

% ! small drill suitable to drill out the blan2ing plug on the usion-s ID* ribbon

plug, I used a 1314$ drill in a 5Dremel$ type mini drill.

!s with !// such user mods. Inside the usion, the responsibility is with you, if you

decide to proceed.

&he mod was done on my usion 67D, but, given that the 47D is identical to the

67D with the e8ception of the 2eyboard, I have do doubt that the mod. )ill be

successful on a 47D.

It may be a /I&&/* more difficult because things are closer together, however.

)hen you have opened your usion you will see something li2e this9



I have unplugged the data ribbon and the mole8 power to show the :/!;< screws

that hold the 7DD-s cradle to the base of the usion.

&here are two =out of shot the other end. &hese four must be removed, to ta2e the

7DD out.

+emember that the tabs are pointing I>)!+DS =for when you reassemble later.

I had to do it wrong first time ? =doh

Drive and cradle loo2 li2e this when removed9

>e8t, remove the screws holding the drive to the cradle parts and set the 7DD to one

side.

&he Data3'ower adaptor you need loo2s li2e this9

&he %.#$ 5side$ has !// pins present, unli2e the outgoing 7DD which has one pin

ISSI>B.

&his difference creates the one piece of real 5wor2$ to be done to complete this

project.

&he usion Data ribbon plug )(>-& fit the above adaptor asis.

&here are two choices9 either

drill out the blan2edoff hole in the usion-s Data ribbon, (+

Snip the offending pin ( the adaptor.

I chose the former, as its easier.

!lso, you can refit the original drive if needed for whatever reason . . . .



&he offending blan2edoff 5hole on the usion-s ID* plug is shown here9

I used a 1314$ drill to 5clear the hole to the depth of a pin.

&he SSD in it-s cradle – with the adaptor installed loo2s li2e this9



!ll that needs to be done now is to mount the cradle with its SSD bac2 in the usion.

)hen installed, it loo2s li2e this9 =>ote the small fan ne8t to the 'S@ useful

&he SSD arrives set to 5aster$ as shown below, and I installed it 5as received$.

>ow, go to the global3item menu and (+!& the SSD



&he SSD formatted incredibly quic2ly. I too2 the opportunity to reload the 1."E (S

at this point, but it-s not essential.

I closed the usion case at this point.

I find it helps to locate the bac2 edge of the &(' panel inside the rear of the bottom

section, before you start to close it.

&he plastic end chee2s will then more easily slide against the bottom section before

finally 5snapping$ in position. +eplace the 1F screws.

!omputer operations following are for "!# Mac is slightly different#

inally, @S: the usion to your '; and copy bac2 the GColume H folder to the

+((& of the usion-s SSD.

@nmount the usion Drive from your ';. +estart the usion, go to the Blobal menu

and verify all . . . .

Info on the SSD should loo2 something li2e this =I have about 6Bb including various

songs the usion GDemosH

*njoy your Juieter, coolerrunning and 5bounceproof$ usion. 9
