About this task
Attention:
• Read
“Installation Guidelines” on page 45 and “Safety inspection checklist” on page 46 to ensure that you
work safely.
• Power off the server and disconnect all power cords for this task.
• Prevent exposure to static electricity, which might lead to system halt and loss of data, by keeping static-
sensitive components in their static-protective packages until installation, and handling these devices with
an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system.

Procedure
Step 1. Touch the static-protective package that contains the M.2 backplane and M.2 drive to any
unpainted surface on the outside of the server. Then, take the M.2 backplane and M.2 drive out of
the package and place them on a static-protective surface.
Notes:
• The M.2 backplane module is shipped with a loose screw, but the screw is not necessarily used
for the installation.
• The M.2 backplane you want to install might be different from the following illustrations, but the
installation method is the same.
Step 2. Adjust the retainer on the M.2 backplane to accommodate the particular size of the M.2 drive you
wish to install. See
“Adjust the retainer on the M.2 backplane” on page 132.
Step 3. Locate the M.2 drive slot on the M.2 backplane.
Note: For some M.2 backplanes that support two identical M.2 drives, install the M.2 drive in slot 0
first.
