/M2M_SB (M.2 Socket 3 Connectors)
The M.2 connectors support M.2 SATA SSDs or M.2 PCIe SSDs and support RAID configuration.
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
SATAhard drive. Refer to Chapter 3, "Configuring a RAID Set," for instructions on configuring a RAID array.
(Note)
Supported by 11th Generation processors only. Be sure to use Intel
®
SSDs if you want to set up a
RAID configuration on the M2P_CPU connector.
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. Remove the protective film from the thermal pad on the M.2
connector.
Step 2:
Locate the proper mounting hole based on the length of your M.2 SSD drive. If needed, move the standoff
