Installation Guidelines
A-1: Hardware Installation
Plug the Intel

VROC Upgrade Key into the VROC header on the motherboard and install the Intel
®
NVMe SSDs
in CPU-controlled PCIe slot(s) or M.2 connector (M2M_32G).
To install the operating system onto the RAID array, make sure the Intel
®
NVMe SSDs are installed in the PCIe
slots managed by the same VMD controller.
