4 Install the SSD module

If you are installing one SSD module in a bottom slot of an 

M.2 kit assembly, this installation requires only one standoff 

(4), one washer (2), and one screw (1).

If you are installing one SSD module in the top slot (bottom 

slot occupied) of an M.2 kit assembly, all parts are used.

You need a #1 Phillips head screw driver and a 4.50 hex 

socket driver.

Note: 

You may have parts left over depending on your installation.

To install the SSD module in the bottom slot of the M.2 on-board 
connector, follow these steps:

1 Remove the blade from the system.
2. Insert the standard standoff (4) into the PCB and front panel 

using the hex driver and torque to 0.03 N-m.

3. Locate the M.2 on-board connector and insert the SSD module 

(5) into the bottom slot by aligning the notch on the SSD with the 
small slot on the M.2 board. Refer to diagram 

A

.

4. Insert the washer (2) and screw (1) into the standoff using the 

Phillips head screwdriver and torque to 0.1 N-m.

Note:  

The #3 collar standoff and extra #2 washer may optionally 

be installed to add future SSD modules.

5. Reserve any remaining parts for future use.
