Device Setup

4. Remove the two fan housing

screws (one on each side of the

inner chassis), then disconnect

the fan’s power cable (outlined in

yellow) from the circuit board. Set

the screws aside then carefully

lift the fan housing off the inner

chassis and set it aside.

5. The positions of the four M.2 SSD connectors are

shown at right in red. NOTE: the four SSD mounting

screws are located opposite the connectors, affixed to

the circuit board.

6. For each SSD you wish to install,

remove the associated mounting

screw from the circuit board.

Then, align each M.2 SSD with

its connector and slide the SSD

forward until it is fully seated. If

the drive feels stuck, do not force

it into the connector; remove it,

re-align the SSD’s contacts with

the connector and try again.
