2.12 M.2_SSD (NGFF) Module Installation Guide
e M.2 (M2_1), also known as the Next Generation Form Factor (NGFF), is a small size
and versatile card edge connector that aims to replace mPCIe and mSATA. e Ultra M.2
Socket (ULTRA_M2) can accommodate a M.2 PCI Express module up to Gen3 x4 (32 Gb/s).
e M.2_SSD(NGFF) Socket 3 (M2_1) can accommodate either a M.2 SATA3 6.0 Gb/s
module or a M.2 PCI Express module up to Gen 2 x4 (20 Gb/s).
Please be noted that the M.2 Socket (M2_1) is shared with the S_SATA3_3 connector.
If you install a M.2 SATA module to the M.2 Socket (M2_1), the internal S_SATA3_3
will not function. If you install a M.2 PCI Express module to the M.2 Socket (M2_1), the
internal S_SATA3_3 will still function.
* If Ultra M.2 PCI Express module is installed, PCIE3 slot will be disabled.
* When you overclock the BCLK frequency, it is recommended that you install the M.2 PCI
Express module to the M.2 Socket (M2_1).
