10) M2A_CPU/M2P_SB/M2Q_SB (M.2 Socket 3 Connectors)
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. Be sure to verify the type of M.2 SSDs you want to use. 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 on configuring a RAID array.

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: Locate the M.2 connector where you will install the M.2 SSD, use a screwdriver to unfasten the
screw on the heatsink and then remove the heatsink. (Only the M2A_CPU connector has the
heatsink.) Remove the protective film from the thermal pad on the M2A_CPU connector.
Step 2: Locate the proper mounting hole for the M.2 SSD to be installed. Insert the M.2 SSD into the M.2
connector at an angle.
Step 3: Press the M.2 SSD down and then use the included screw to secure it in the connector. Replace
the heatsink and secure it to the original hole. Remove the protective film from the bottom of the
heatsink before replacing the heatsink.
* Types of M.2 SSDs supported by each M.2 connector:
M.2 PCIe x4 SSD
M.2 PCIe x2 SSD
M.2 SATA SSD
