Install the M.2 adapter and M.2 drive
Use this information to install the M.2 adapter and M.2 drive.
Attention: 
•  Read “Installation Guidelines” on page 185 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 new part to any unpainted surface on the 
outside of the server. Then, take the new part out of the package and place them on a static- 
protective surface.  
Note: Your M.2 adapter might look 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 247.
Step 3.  Locate the connector on the M.2 adapter. 
Note: Some M.2 adapters support two identical M.2 drives. Install the M.2 drive in slot 0 first.
