SSD replacement for iMac EMC2544 with Fusion drive

crwdns2934249:0crwdne2934249:0:

I just received an iMac Intel 21.5" (Late 2012-2019) SSD Upgrade Kit hoping to replace the OEM HDD with the new SSD. I haven't opened up the Mac yet.
While perusing the several installation instructions, I might have a blade SSD on the control board (unconfirmed) that is part of the"Fusion" system
Will I be able to just replace the HDD with the SSD and format and install the OS as usual and not deal with the Blade SSD, or ????
Thanks in advance for any help,
Richard
