Gigabyte B365M DS3H WIFI - Storage Connectors (SATA;M.2)

Select the proper hole for the M.2 SSD to be installed and refasten the screw and standoff.
8) M2A (M.2 Socket 3 Connector)
The M.2 connector supports M.2 SATA SSDs and M.2 PCIe SSDs. Please note that an M.2 PCIe SSD
cannot be used to create a RAID set with a SATA hard drive. To create a RAID array with an M.2 PCIe
SSD, you must set up the conguration in UEFI BIOS mode. Refer to Chapter 3, "Conguring a RAID Set,"
for instructions on conguring a RAID array.
Follow the steps below to correctly install an M.2 SSD in the M.2 connector.
Step 1:
Use a screw driver to unfasten the screw and standoff from the motherboard. Locate the proper mounting
hole for the M.2 SSD to be installed and then screw the standoff rst.
Step 2:
Slide the M.2 SSD into the connector at an angle.
Step 3:
Press the M.2 SSD down and then secure it with the screw.

Installation Notices for the M.2 and SATA Connectors:
Due to the limited number of lanes provided by the Chipset, the availability of the SATA connectors may
be affected by the type of device installed in the M.2 connector. The M2A connector shares bandwidth with
the SATA3 0 connector. Refer to the following table for details.
