NOTE: Depending on the configuration ordered the system may have up to two M.2 solid-state drives installed. Supported solid-state drive configurations per M.2 solid-state drive slot: • M.2 2230 solid-state drive + solid-state drive bracket • M.2 2280 solid-state drive • M.2 2280 Intel Optane NOTE: For solid-state drives above 512 GB or Intel Optane above 118 GB a thermal shield is required for optimal heat dissipation and is installed in the computer when these configurations are ordered. If these configurations are installed After Point-of-Sale (APOS), contact Dell support for the thermal shield.
