About this task

NOTE:

Depending on the configuration ordered, your computer may support an M.2 2230 solid-state drive or an M.2 2280

solid-state drive in M.2 slot two.

NOTE: If there is only one solid-state drive in the configuration you ordered, you can install another solid-state drive in the

other M.2 slot. However, you may need a solid-state drive mounting bracket (sold separately) to install the additional solid-

state drive.

NOTE: This procedure applies only if you are installing an M.2 2230 solid-state drive in M.2 slot two.

NOTE: Before installing your M.2 2230 or M,2 2280 solid-state drive, ensure that the mounting bracket is in the correct

location. For more information, see Installing the solid-state drive mounting bracket.
