M.2 Solid State Drives
The H13SSH motherboard supports dual PCIe Gen 4 NVMe M.2 devices (M.2-C1, M.2-C2).
M.2-C1 supports PCIe Gen 4 x4 and M.2-C2 supports PCIe Gen 4 x2. A blue latch helps to
hold the M.2 SSDs in place. The default location of the blue latch on the motherboard supports
the 22110 form factor. To support the 2280 form factor, make a request prior to purchasing
the system. It is strongly not recommended to adjust the default blue latch location.
Note: M.2 slots are intended to be used for boot devices only. Any write intensive workloads
may result in thermal issues and the M.2s overheating.
Installing Dual M.2 SSDs
1. Disconnect power from the motherboard or system.
2. Refer to the motherboard layout and locate the M.2 dual slot (J7).
