SETTING THE HEATSINK CONFIGURATION

The Aluminum Cover has two alignments of holes. The first hole 
alignment is dedicated for installing the Single-Sided M.2 SSDs, 
which means all the storage and controller electronics are placed 
on one side of the drive PCB. The heatsink comes out of the box in 
the same configuration. The second hole alignment configuration 
provides additional clearance for Two-Sided M.2 SSDs, which have 
chips on both sides of the PCB. This configuration can be achieved 
by flipping the backplate and aligning the backplate with the second 
position of the threaded holes as shown in the picture below. 

STEP 2

CUTTING AND PLACING THERMAL PADS

Your M.2 NMVe Heatsink came with more than an adequate amount 
of thermal pads. 

CAUTION: You must remove the protective foil from both 
sides of the thermal pad before installation.

Thermal Pad G 0.5 mm – (120 x 24 mm) EAN: 3830046996763

EK recommends cutting the provided thermal pads to the size most 
optimal for M.2 NVMe drive coverage. The size shown below is most 
commonly used, but we recommend cutting it in size to cover all the 
storage and controller electronics on your M.2 NVMe SSD drive.
