8) M2Q_SB
(Note)
(M.2 Socket 3 Connector)
The M.2 connectors support M.2 PCIe SSDs and RAID conguration.Please note that an M.2 PCIe SSD
cannot be used to create a RAID set either with an M.2 SATA SSD or a SATA hard drive. To create a RAID
array with an M.2 PCIe SSD, you must set up the conguration in UEFI BIOS mode. Please navigate to
the "Conguring a RAID Set" page of GIGABYTE's website for instructions on conguring a RAID array.
Follow the steps below to correctly install an M.2 SSD in the M.2 connector.
Step 1:
Locate the proper mounting hole based on the length of your M.2 SSD drive. If needed, move the standoff
to the desired mounting hole. Insert the M.2 SSD into the M.2 connector at an angle.
Step 2:
Press the M.2 SSD down and then use the included screw to secure it in the connector.
(Note) Be sure to use Intel
®
SSDs if you want to set up a RAID conguration on the M2Q_SB connector.
