8) M2A_32G/M2D_32G (M.2 Socket 3 Connectors)
The M.2 connectors support M.2 SATA SSDs and M.2 PCIe SSDs and support RAID configuration through the
Intel
®
Chipset. Please note that an M.2 PCIe SSD cannot be used to create a RAID set either with an M.2 SATA
SSD or a SATA hard drive. To create a RAID array with an M.2 PCIe SSD, you must set up the configuration in
UEFI BIOS mode. Refer to Chapter 3, "Configuring a RAID Set," for instructions on configuring a RAID array.
Step 1:
Use a screw driver to unfasten the screw and nut from the motherboard. Locate the proper mounting hole for
the M.2 SSD to be installed and then screw the nut first.
Step 2:
Slide the M.2 SSD into the connector at an angle.
Step 3:
Press the M.2 SSD down and then secure it with the screw.
On the motherboard there are three length adjustment holes for the M.2 SSD. Select the proper
hole for the M.2 SSD to be installed and refasten the screw and nut.
Follow the steps below to correctly install an M.2 SSD in the M.2 connector.
When installing different types of M.2 SSDs (including SATA SSDs, PCIe x4 SSDs, and PCIe x2 SSDs), be
sure to refer to the supported configurations in the tables below according to the operating mode of your
SATA controller (AHCI mode or RAID mode).
