Steps
1. Remove the screw (M2x2) that secures the solid-state drive thermal bracket and the solid-state drive 1 to the system board.
2. Slide the solid-state drive thermal bracket from the alignment post and lift it from the system board.
3. Slide and remove the solid-state drive 1 from the solid-state drive slot.
NOTE:
The size of the solid-state drive thermal bracket varies based on the storage type. A solid-state drive thermal
bracket that is designed for an M.2 2280 drive cannot accommodate an M.2 2230 drive and vice versa.
Installing the solid-state drive 1
Prerequisites
If you are replacing a component, remove the existing component before performing the installation procedure.
CAUTION: Solid-state drives are fragile. Exercise care when handling the solid-state drive.
NOTE: Your computer supports two solid-state drive slots. Solid-state drive1 is the primary slot and solid-state drive2 is
the secondary slot. If you are installing only one solid-state drive, install the drive to the primary slot. Install the second
solid-state drive, if available, to the solid-state drive2 slot.
