9. DIMM.2 slot
The DIMM.2 slot allows you to install a DIMM.2 card to support additional M.2 SSD
modules.
• Before you install or remove the DIMM.2 card, ensure that the power supply is
switched off or the power cord is detached from the power supply. Failure to do so
may cause severe damage to the motherboard or DIMM.2 card.
• The DIMM.2 card is notched to fit in only one orientation. Ensure that the notch on
your card is aligned correctly with the DIMM.2 slot before inserting the card.
• DIMM.2 module supports PCIe 3.0 x4 Key M design and type 2242 / 2260 / 2280 /
22110 PCIe storage devices.
• These sockets support IRST (Intel ® Rapid Storage Technology).
• The DIMM.2 Slots (M.2_1/2) are disabled by default. Please adjust BIOS settings to
enable DIMM.2 Slots.
The M.2 SSD module is purchased separately.
