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 JMD1 and JMD2 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 may look different, but the standoff functions in the same way.
