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.
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 secure it with the screw. Replace the heatsink and secure it to the
original hole. Make sure to remove the protective film from the bottom of the heatsink before replacing the heatsink.
Select the proper hole for the M.2 SSD to be installed and refasten the screw and standoff.
(Note) Only B550 AORUS ELITE AX V2 has the heatsink.
