Slide the solid-state drive thermal bracket from the alignment post and lift it from the system board. 3. Slide and remove the solid-state drive2 from the solid-state drive slot. NOTE: The size of the solid-state drive thermal bracket varies based on the storage type.

Installing the solid-state drive2 Prerequisites If you are replacing a component, remove the existing component before performing the installation procedure. CAUTION: Solid-state drives are fragile. Exercise care when handling the solid-state drive. NOTE: Your computer supports 2 solid-state drive slots. Solid-state drive1 is the primary slot and solid-state drive2 is the secondary slot. If you are installing only one solid-state drive, install the drive to the primary slot. Install the second solid-state drive, if available, to the solid-state drive2 slot.
