Follow the steps below to correctly install an M.2 SSD in the M.2 connector.
Step 1:
Before installing the M.2 SSD, loosen the screws from the heatsink module and remove the PCH heatsink
module. (Only the M2A_CPU connector has the heatsink module.)
Step 2:
Locate the proper mounting hole for the M.2 SSD to be installed and then tighten the standoff rst. Insert
the M.2 SSD into the M.2 connector at an angle.
Step 3:
Press the M.2 SSD down and then secure it with the screw. Replace the heatsink and secure it to the
original hole.
