If you want install an M.2 SSD in the 110mm hole that already has a motherboard heatsink standoff,
be sure to remove the EZ-Latch Plus clip rst and use the motherboard heatsink screw to secure
the heatsink and SSD.
Step 2:
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 3:
Press the M.2 SSD down and then use the included screw to secure it in the connector. Remove the
protective lm from the bottom of the heatsink. Then replace the heatsink and secure it to the original hole.
