The M.2 connectors support M.2 SATA SSDs or M.2 PCIe SSDs and support RAID configuration. Please
note that an M.2 PCIe SSD cannot be used to create a RAID set either with an M.2 SATA SSD or a SATA
hard drive. Refer to Chapter 3, "Configuring a RAID Set," for instructions on configuring a RAID array.
Follow the steps below to correctly install an M.2 SSD in the M.2 connector.
Step 1:
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 2:
Press the M.2 SSD down and then use the included screw to secure it in the connector.
Installation Notices for the M.2 and SATA Connectors:
The availability of the SATA connectors may be affected by the type of device installed in the M.2 sockets.
The M2A_SB connector shares bandwidth with the SATA3 1 connector. Refer to the following table for details.
