Before you install an M.2 drive in the M.2 backplane:
1. Touch the static-protective package that contains the new M.2 drive to any unpainted surface on the

protective surface.
2. Adjust the retainer on the M.2 backplane to accommodate the particular size of the M.2 drive you wish
to install. See “Adjust the retainer on the M.2 backplane” on page 82.
Complete the following steps to install an M.2 drive in the M.2 backplane.

Notes:
• Some M.2 backplanes support two identical M.2 drives. When two drives are installed, align and
support both drives when sliding the retainer forward to secure the drives.
• Install the M.2 drive in slot 0 first.
