M.2 module installation
•
Use a Phillips screwdriver when removing or installing the screws or screw stands
mentioned in this section.
•
If the thermal pad on the M.2 heatsink becomes damaged, we recommend replacing it
with a thermal pad with a thickness of 1.25mm.
•
Supported M.2 type varies per motherboard.

3.
(optional) Install the bundled rubber for M.2 if you are installing a single sided M.2
module. DO NOT install the bundled rubber for M.2 when installing a double-sided
M.2 module. The rubber installed by default is compatible with double sided M.2
modules.
Only follow this step if installing a 2280 length M.2 module and when the rubber for M.2
comes bundled with your motherboard package.
