Solid State Storage
This motherboard supports internally mounted solid state storage cards by means of three
M.2 slots. When an M.2 NVMe storage card is installed, an accompanying heatsink (optional)
must also be installed to prevent the card from overheating. See Chapter 6 for details.
Installing an M.2 Card
1. Gently insert the M.2 card into the connector.
2.
Use a screw to secure the M.2 card to the standoff.
