7) M.2 (M.2 Socket 3 Connector)
You can insert an M.2 PCIe SSD into this connector.
Follow the steps below to correctly install an M.2 SSD in the M.2 connector.
Step 1:
Use a screw driver to unfasten the screw and nut from the motherboard. Locate the proper mounting hole
for the M.2 SSD to be installed and then screw the nut first.
Step 2:
Slide the M.2 SSD into the connector at an oblique angle.
Step 3:
Press the M.2 SSD down and then secure it with the screw.
• On the motherboard there are three length adjustment holes for the M.2 SSD. Select the proper
hole for the M.2 SSD to be installed and refasten the screw and nut.
• The M.2 socket shares bandwidth with the PCIEX4 slot. When the M.2 socket is populated, the
PCIEX4 slot will operate at up to x2 mode.
