Installing M.2 Key-M Socket 3 Devices
Securing an M.2 device to the motherboard requires a few extra steps compared to other
current drive or slot-based connectors. M.2 devices used on this motherboard - Socket
3 (for SSDs) and Socket 1 (for WiFi/Bluetooth)
–
are installed differently.
Below are images from an installation of an SSD on a Socket 3 Key-M 110mm slot of
the Z490 FTW.
1. Before you can install an M.2 device, you must
first remove the screw that comes pre-attached to
the Socket 3’s retention standoff; this will be used
to keep the device in place. The standoff is placed
at the 80mm interval for the Socket 3 slot.
Next add one thermal pad

Z490 FTW accessories
–
to the outlined area to
the right.
2. After adding the thermal pad, the motherboard will look like the image below. This
thermal pad will assist with cooling your M.2 Key-M device.
