3.5 M.2 Installation (optional)
Three M.2 M key sockets are supported by the C9Z590-CG. M.2 devices are used for solid
state storage and internal expansion. Follow the steps below in order to install an M.2 device.
Note: The steps below are examples of the M.2 installation, the motherboard you received
may or may not look exactly the same.
1. Locate and remove the retaining screws on the M.2 heatsinks.
2. With the heatsink removed, locate the bundled
standoff on the length of M.2 device if necessary.
Note: Three standoffs have been pre-installed
in the 2280 and 22110 mounting holes and de-
signed for the heatsink installation. To plug the
smaller M.2 device, please using other standoff
bundled in the motherboard package.
3. Carefully plug the M.2 device into the M.2 socket and lower the semi-circle notched end
onto the standoff.
4. Remove the M.2 heatsink thermal pad cover.
