8) M2A_CPU/M2P_SB (M.2 Socket 3 Connectors)
The M.2 connectors on the motherboard support only M.2 PCIe SSDs.
Follow the steps below to correctly install an M.2 SSD in the M.2 connector.
Step 1:
Locate the M.2 connector where you will install the M.2 SSD, use a screwdriver to unfasten the screw on
the heatsink and then remove the heatsink. (Only the M2A_CPU connector has the heatsink)
Step 2:
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 3:
Press the M.2 SSD down and then use the included screw to secure it in the connector. Remove the
protective film from the bottom of the heatsink. Then replace the heatsink and secure it to the original hole.
