12) M2A/M2B/M2C_SOCKET (M.2 Socket 3 Connectors)

The M.2 connectors support M.2 SATA SSDs or M.2 PCIe SSDs and support RAID conguration. Please

note that an M.2 PCIe SSD cannot be used to create a RAID set either with an M.2 SATA SSD or a SATA

hard drive. Refer to Chapter 3, "Conguring a RAID Set," for instructions on conguring a RAID array.

Step 1:

Get a screw and a standoff from the included M.2 screw and standoff packs. Locate the M.2 connector

where you will install the M.2 SSD, use a screwdriver to unfasten the screw on the heatsink and then

remove the heatsink.

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.
