8) M2A_CPU/M2X_SB/M2Y_SB (M.2 Socket 3 Connectors)
There are two types of M.2 SSDs: M.2 SATA SSDs and M.2 PCIe SSDs. This motherboard only supports
M.2 PCIe SSDs. Please note that an M.2 PCIe SSD cannot be used to create a RAID set with a SATA
hard drive. Please navigate to the "Configuring a RAID Set" page of GIGABYTE's website for instructions
on configuring a RAID array.
Follow the steps below to correctly install an M.2 SSD in the M.2 connector.
M2A_CPU:
Step 1:
Pull the clip's tab up and out of the mounting hole. Slide the M.2 SSD into the connector at an angle.
Step 2:
Press the M.2 SSD down and then secure it by pressing the clip's tab into the mounting hole.
M2X_SB and M2Y_SB:
Step 1:
M.2 sockets have a foolproof design. An M.2 SSD can be installed in only one direction. If you are unable
to insert the M.2 SSD, switch the direction.
Step 2:
Align the M.2 SSD with the socket, and press down on the M.2 SSD until it is fully seated in the socket.
(You need to purchase the mounting bracket separately.)
