Follow the steps below to correctly install an M.2 SSD in the M.2 connector.
Step 1: To access the M.2 slot you want to use, unfasten the screws on the motherboard heatsink diagonally
to remove the heatsink. Locate the proper mounting hole for the M.2 SSD to be installed and then
install the M.2 EZ-Latch clip first.
•• If you want to install an M.2 SSD that came with its own heatsink, you have to remove the
EZ-Latch clip first and use the provided screw and standoff to fasten the SSD.
•• If you want install an M.2 SSD in the 110mm hole that already has a motherboard heatsink
standoff, be sure to remove the EZ-Latch clip first and use the motherboard heatsink screw to
secure the heatsink and SSD.
Step 2: Insert the M.2 SSD into the M.2 connector at an angle. Press down on the front end of the M.2
SSD and close M.2 EZ-Latch clip to secure the M.2 SSD.
Step 3: Remove the protective film from the bottom of the motherboard heatsink and then replace the
heatsink and tighten the screws diagonally.
