We strongly recommend installing the motherboard into the chassis before replacing the M.2_2 and M.2_3 heatsink, as two of the motherboard screw holes used to secure the motherboard to the chassis will not be reachable if the M.2_2 and M.2_3 heatsink is replaced before installing the motherboard into the chassis. 9. Secure the heatsinks using the screws on the heatsink. 9 9 9 8 7 9 Chapter 2 2-14 Chapter 2: Basic Installation
