M.2 module installation • The illustrations only show the installation steps for a 22110 M.2 slot, the steps are the same for the other M.2 slots. • Use a Phillips screwdriver when removing or installing the screws or screw stands mentioned in this section.
Page 26
(optional) Install the bundled rubber for M.2 if you are installing a single sided M.2 module. DO NOT install the bundled rubber for M.2 when installing a double-sided M.2 module. The rubber installed by default is compatible with double sided M.2 modules.
Page 27
Install your M.2 module to the M.2 slot. Ensure that there is nothing obstructing your M.2 module when installing the M.2 module to the M.2 slot. Remove the plastic film from the thermal pads on the bottom of the heatsinks. If the thermal pad on the M.2 heatsink becomes damaged, we recommend replacing it with the bundled thermal pad or a thermal pad with a thickness of 1.25mm.
