5. (optional) Install the M.2 Q-Latch to the M.2 length screw hole you wish to install your
M.2 module to.
You can use a bundled M.2 Q-Latch screw or a pre-installed removable M.2 Q-Latch
screw.
6. Rotate and adjust the M.2 Q-Latch so that the handle points away from the M.2 slot.
7. Install your M.2 module to the M.2 slot.
Ensure that there is nothing obstructing your M.2 module when installing the M.2 module
to the M.2 slot.
8. Rotate the M.2 Q-Latch clockwise to secure the M.2 module in place.
9. Remove the plastic film from the thermal pads on the bottom of the heatsinks.
If the thermal pad on the M.2 heatsink becomes damaged, we recommend replacing it
with the bundled thermal pad or a thermal pad with a thickness of 1.25mm.
