1.5 M.2 installation Supported M.2 type varies per motherboard. If the thermal pad on the M.2 heatsink becomes damaged, we recommend replacing it with a thermal pad with a thickness of 1.25mm. • The illustrations only show the installation steps for a single M.2 slot, the steps are the same for the other M.2 slots if you wish to install an M.2 to another M.2 slot. • Use a Phillips screwdriver when removing or installing the screws or screw stands mentioned in this section. • The M.
3. Install your M.2 to your M.2 slot. The steps may differ between installing M.2 of different lengths, please refer to the different types and their installation steps below: For 2280, 22110 length A. (optional) Remove the pre-installed removable M.2 Q-Latch screw at the 2280 length screw hole. Follow step A only when you wish to install an 22110 length M.2. B. (optional) Install the bundled M.2 rubber pad if you are installing a single sided M.2 storage device. DO NOT install the bundled M.
For 2242, 2260 length A. (optional) Remove the M.2 rubber pad. Follow this step only if you wish to install an M.2 to type 2242. B. (optional) If required, remove the pre-installed removable M.2 Q-Latch screw at the 2280 length screw hole. C. Install the M.2 Q-Latch to the M.2 length screw hole you wish to install your M.2 to. D. Rotate and adjust the M.2 Q-latch so that the handle points away from the M.2 slot. 1-16 E. Install your M.2 to the M.2 slot. F. Rotate the M.
