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.
• If the thermal pad on the M.2 heatsink becomes damaged and needs to replaced, we
recommend replacing it with a thermal pad with a thickness of 1.25mm.
• The M.2 is purchased separately.
