External Storage
5.1.1.
2.5” SSD Drive Bay
The external 2.5” SSD drive bay uses the SATA interface (SATA III / SATA-600 compliant) for 512 GByte or 1 TByte
2.5” SSD drives.
5.2.
Internal Expansion
It is possible to install a full-size or half -size mPCIe expansion card and/or a M.2 (2242/2262/2280) memory
module. Due to space limitations and a possible mechanical collision, not every mPCIe expansion card and M.2
module combination is possible.
The supported M.2 module and mPCIe expansion card combinations are:
M.2(2280) module
M.2(2260/2242) mPCIe (half-size)
M.2(2242) mPCIe (full-size)
The KBox B-201-CFL (Smart or Value) variant with optional Wi-Fi is delivered with the mPCIe socket populate with a
half-size mPCIe card. This must be taken into consideration when adding M.2 modules.
5.2.1.
mPCIE Socket
The onboard mPCIe (PCIE x1) socket supports:
KBox B-201-CFL (Smart)
1x mPCIe expansion card
Full-size or half-size
Supporting PCIe Gen 3 & USB
KBox B-201-CFL (Value)
1x mPCIe expansion card
Full-size or half-size
Supporting PCIe Gen 2 & USB
When expanding the KBox B-201-CFL with a mPCIe expansion card (full- size or half-size), users must consider
whether a 2242/2260/2280 form factor card M.2 module is installed in the neighboring M.2 socket. Due to space
restrictions, not every M.2/mPCIe combination is possible. For the allowed M.2/mPCIe socket combinations, see
Chapter 5.2: Internal Expansion.
The KBox B-201-CFL variants (Smart or Value) with the Wi-Fi option, are delivered with the mPCIe socket already
populate.
