9) M2P_32G/M2Q_32G (M.2 Socket 3 Connectors)
The M.2 connectors support M.2 SATA SSDs or M.2 PCIe SSDs and support RAID coniguration. 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 coniguration in UEFI BIOS
mode. Refer to Chapter 3, "Coniguring a RAID Set," for instructions on coniguring a RAID array.
