Installing an M.2 SSD
Caution:
Use industry-standard anti-static equipment, such as gloves or wrist strap, and
follow precautions to avoid damage caused by ESD.
Locate the socket J2 and J3 on the motherboard.
There is a plastic standoff in one of the
SRW holes. If it is the correct hole for your M.2 SSD, you can slide the SSD into the socket,
and secure it by pushing the plug into the standoff. If not, you must move the plastic standoff.

Note:
Your card looks different, but the standoff functions the same.)
