10) M2A_CPU/M2P_SB/M2Q_SB/M2M_SB (M.2 Socket 3 Connectors)
There are two types of M.2 SSDs: M.2 SATA SSDs and M.2 PCIe SSDs. Be sure to verify which type of
M.2 SSDs is supported by the M.2 socket you want to use. 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. Please navigate to the
"Configuring a RAID Set" page of GIGABYTE's website for instructions on configuring a RAID array.
Follow the steps below to correctly install an M.2 SSD in the M.2 connector.
Step 1:
Locate the M.2 connector where you will install the M.2 SSD, use a screwdriver to unfasten the screw on
the heatsink and then remove the heatsink.
Step 2:
Locate the proper mounting hole based on the length of your M.2 SSD drive. If needed, move the standoff
to the desired mounting hole. Insert the M.2 SSD into the M.2 connector at an angle.
Step 3:
Press the M.2 SSD down and then use the included screw to secure it in the connector. Remove the
protective film from the bottom of the heatsink. Then replace the heatsink and secure it to the original hole.
* Types of M.2 SSDs supported by each M.2 connector:
M.2 PCIe x4 SSD
M.2 PCIe x2 SSD
M.2 SATA SSD
