Step 3
Move the standoff based on the
module type and length.
The standoff is placed at the nut
location D by default. Skip Step 3
and 4 and go straight to Step 5 if you
are going to use the default nut.
Otherwise, release the standoff by
hand.
Step 4
Peel off the yellow protective film on
the nut to be used. Hand tighten the
standoff into the desired nut location
on the motherboard.
Step 5
Align and gently insert the M.2
(NGFF) SSD module into the M.2
slot. Please be aware that the M.2
(NGFF) SSD module only fits in one
orientation.
Step 6
Tighten the screw with a screwdriver
to secure the module into place.
Please do not overtighten the screw
as this might damage the module.
