M.2
M.2 is formerly known as Next Generation Form Factor (NGFF). The X12SCV-LVDS deploys
an M key (2242/2280) dedicated for SSD devices with the ultimate performance capability in
a PCI Express 3.0 x4 (NVMe storage supporting 2242/2280 length) and an M.2 E key that
supports 2230 length.
Installing the M.2 Card
1. Access the motherboard and locate the
M.2
connector (Figure 1-3, JMD2: M2).
2. Gently insert the M.2 card into the connector.
3.
Use a screw to secure the M.2 card to the M2_SRW1 or M2_SRW2 standoff.
