12) M2M_32G/M2P_32G (M.2 Socket 3 Connectors)
The M.2 connectors support M.2 SATA SSDs and M.2 PCIe SSDs and support RAID configuration through
the Intel
®
Chipset. Please note that an M.2 PCIe SSD cannot be used to create a RAID set either with
an M.2 SATA SSD or a SATA hard drive. To create a RAID array with an M.2 PCIe SSD, you must set
up the configuration in UEFI BIOS mode. Refer to Chapter 3, "Configuring a RAID Set," for instructions
on configuring a RAID array.
Follow the steps below to correctly install an M.2 SSD in the M.2 connector.
Step 1:
Use a screw driver to unfasten the screw and nut
from the motherboard. Locate the proper mounting
hole for the M.2 SSD to be installed and then
screw the nut first.
Step 2:
Slide the M.2 SSD into the connector at an angle.
Step 3:
Press the M.2 SSD down and then secure it with
the screw.
Step 4:
The installation is completed, as shown in the
picture above.
Select the proper hole for the M.2 SSD to be installed and refasten the screw and nut.
