Use this information to install the M.2 adapter and M.2 drive.
About this task
Attention:
• Read “Installation guidelines” on page 92 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 adapter and M.2 drive to any unpainted
surface on the outside of the server. Then, take the M.2 adapter and M.2 drive out of the package
and place them on a static-protective surface.
Notes:
• The M.2 adapter module is shipped with a loose screw, but the screw is not necessarily used for
the installation.
• The M.2 adapter 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 adapter to accommodate the particular size of the M.2 drive you wish
to install. See “Adjust the retainer on the M.2 adapter” on page 128.
Step 3. Locate the M.2 drive slot on the M.2 adapter.
Note: For some M.2 adapters that support two identical M.2 drives, install the M.2 drive in slot 0
first.
