There are two types of M.2 SSDs: M.2 SATA SSDs and M.2 PCIe SSDs. This motherboard only supports
M.2 PCIe SSDs. Please note that an M.2 PCIe SSD cannot be used to create a RAID set with a SATA
hard drive. Please navigate to the "Configuring a RAID Set" page of GIGABYTE's website for instructions

Avoid contacting any chips or IC components on the motherboard when attaching the rubber pads.
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.
If you want install an M.2 SSD in the 110mm hole, remove the EZ-Latch Plus clip from the 80mm
hole first.
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 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.
