Using M.2 shield
We provide the M.2 shield on the M2_1 slot to help dissipate
heat away from the M.2 module. Before installing the M.2
module for the first time, you need to remove the screw, lift
the cover and remove the protective film and the round
rubber from the thermal pad.

If you don' t need the M.2 shield, you can remove it.
