2.13 M.2_SSD (NGFF) Module Installation Guide

The M.2, also known as the Next Generation Form Factor (NGFF), is a small size and
versatile card edge connector that aims to replace mPCIe and mSATA. The Ultra M.2
Socket (M2_1) supports a M.2 SATA3 6.0 Gb/s module or a M.2 PCI Express module up to
Gen 3 x4 (32Gb/s).
*The M.2 slot (M2_1) is shared with the PCIE7 slot and the SATA_0 connector. When M2_1 is populated with
a M.2 SATA3 module, SATA_0 is disabled. When M2_1 is populated with a M.2 PCI Express module, PCIE7 is
disabled.
