When using the ROG GEN-Z.2 Heatsink module, we recommend removing the M.2
SSD’s default thermal heatsink before installing the M.2 SSD to the ROG GEN-Z.2
Heatsink module.
If your M.2 SSD does not feature a flash chip on the back, please remove the default
M.2 pads on your ROG GEN-Z.2 module and replace them with the bundled taller
M.2 pads.
