FollowthestepsbelowtocorrectlyinstallanM.2SSDintheM.2connector.
Step 1:
GetascrewandastandofffromtheincludedM.2screwandstandoffpacks.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.
Step 2:
LocatethepropermountingholefortheM.2SSDtobeinstalledandthentightenthestandoffrst.Insert
theM.2SSDintotheM.2connectoratanangle.
Step3:
PresstheM.2SSDdownandthensecureitwiththescrew.Replacetheheatsinkandsecureittothe
