6) M2A_SOCKET/M2B_SOCKET (M.2 Socket 3 Connectors)
The M.2 connectors support M.2 SATA SSDs or M.2 PCIe SSDs and support 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. Reer to Chapter 3, "Conguring a RAID Set," or instructions on conguring a RAID array.
Select the proper hole or the M.2 SSD to be installed and reasten the screw and stando.

Follow the steps below to correctly install an M.2 SSD in the M.2 connector.
Step 1:
Get a screw and a standoff from the included M.2 screw and standoff packs. Locate the M.2 connector
where you will install the M.2 SSD, use a screwdriver to unasten the screw on the heatsink and then
remove the heatsink. (Only the M2A_SOCKET connector has the heatsink)
Step 2:
Locate the proper mounting hole or the M.2 SSD to be installed and then tighten the stando rst. Insert
the M.2 SSD into the M.2 connector at an angle.
Step 3:
Press the M.2 SSD down and then secure it with the screw. Replace the heatsink and secure it to the
original hole.
7) SATA3 0/1/2/3/4/5 (SATA 6Gb/s Connectors)
The SATA connectors conform to SATA 6Gb/s standard and are compatible with SATA 3Gb/s and SATA
1.5Gb/s standard. Each SATA connector supports a single SATA device. The SATA connectors support
RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID 10. Reer to Chapter 3, "Conguring a RAID Set," or instructions on conguring
a RAID array.
