About this task
NOTE: If you have ordered a 3-cell (40 Wh) battery configuration, your computer will not support a solid-state drive in M.2
slot two.
NOTE: If you have ordered a 4-cell (53 Wh) battery configuration, your computer may support a 2230 solid-state drive, or
a 2280 solid-state drive in M.2 slot two.
NOTE: Before installing your 2280 solid-state drive, ensure that the mounting bracket is in the correct location. For more
information, see Installing the solid-state drive mounting bracket.
NOTE: If there is only one solid-state drive in the configuration you ordered, you may install another solid-state drive in the
other M.2 slot. However, you need a solid-state drive bracket (sold separately) to install the additional solid-state drive.
The following image indicates the location of the 2280 solid-state drive that is installed in M.2 slot two and provides a visual
