Installing an M.2 SSD
Caution: Use industry-standard anti-static equipment, such as gloves or wrist strap, and
follow precautions to avoid damage caused by ESD.
Locate the RSC-UMR-8 storage adapter card in the SXB2 slot on the motherboard. There is
a plastic standoff in one of the holes. If it is the correct hole for your M.2 SSD, you can slide
the SSD into the socket, and secure it by pushing the plug into the standoff.
If the plastic standoff not in the correct hole, or if you want to install two M.2 SSDs, you must
remove the storage adapter card to move or add the standoff.
(Note: Your card looks different, but the standoff functions the same.)
Removing the Storage Adapter Card to Mount M.2 SSDs
1. Remove the left WIO riser card as described in Figure 3-16.
2. Remove the screw in the small L bracket that holds the RSC-UMR-8 storage adapter
card.
3. Pull the RSC-UMR-8 storage adapter card out of the motherboard slot.
4. Push the plastic standoffs out of the riser card. Push them into the correct holes for your
SSD lengths.
5. Insert the SSD into the socket on the riser card. Then push it flat against the adapter
card and the plastic standoff.
6. Secure the SSD by firmly inserting the standoff plug.
7. Replace the RSC-UMR-8 storage adapter card and the WIO riser card.
Note: A specialized air shroud is available for cooling the M.2 SSD. See the following "System
Cooling" section for instructions.
