2.1.4 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 the bundled thermal pad or 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.2 is purchased separately.
1. Completely loosen the screws on the heatsinks.
2. Lift and remove the heatsinks.
