3.5 Expansion Card Installation

Installing an M.2 Solid State Drive

The X12DAi-N6 can accommodate two M.2 solid state drives (SSDs). Each M.2 socket
supports NVMe PCIe 4.0 x4 (32 Gb/s) SSD cards in the 2280 or 22110 form factors. The
22110 form factor is recommended because the appropriate standoff comes pre-installed on
the motherboard.
Caution: Use industry-standard anti-static equipment, such as gloves or wrist strap, and
follow precautions to avoid damage caused by ESD.
