9) M2Q_SB
The M.2 connectors support M.2 PCIe SSDs and RAID configuration.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. To create a RAID
array with an M.2 PCIe SSD, you must set up the configuration in UEFI BIOS mode. Refer to Chapter 3,
"Configuring a RAID Set," for instructions on configuring a RAID array.
Follow the steps below to correctly install an M.2 SSD in the M.2 connector.
Step 1:
Locate the proper mounting hole based on the length of your M.2 SSD drive. If needed, move the standoff
to the desired mounting hole. Insert the M.2 SSD into the M.2 connector at an angle.
Step 2:
Press the M.2 SSD down and then use the included screw to secure it in the connector.

Connects to the hard drive activity LED on the chassis front panel. The LED is on when the hard drive
is reading or writing data.
Connects to the reset switch on the chassis front panel. Press the reset switch to restart the computer
if the computer freezes and fails to perform a normal restart.
Connects to the chassis intrusion switch/sensor on the chassis that can detect if the chassis cover has
been removed. This function requires a chassis with a chassis intrusion switch/sensor.
The front panel design may differ by chassis. A front panel module mainly consists of power switch,
reset switch, power LED, hard drive activity LED, speaker and etc. When connecting your chassis
front panel module to this header, make sure the wire assignments and the pin assignments are
matched correctly.
Be sure to use Intel SSDs if you want to set up a RAID configuration on the M2Q_SB connector.
