Security Gateway Manual Netgate-8300
Note: As mentioned earlier in this document, the Netgate 8300 currently supports M.2 B+M-Key or M-Key
PCIe NVMe SSDs in 2280 or 2242 sizes.
2. Move the retainer clip to match the SSD size being installed.
The M.2 slot accepts both 2280 and 2242 size cards, but the device ships with the retaining clip set for a 2280
size card by default.
This clip can easily be moved to accommodate a 2242 card without any tools.
If the card being installed is a 2280 size card, these steps are unnecessary.
1. Rotate the retaining clip 90 degrees counterclockwise to release it.
2. Lift the retaining clip away from the riser.
3. Insert the retaining clip in the 2242 position hole outlined in white on the riser.
4. Rotate the retaining clip 90 degrees clockwise to lock it in place.
3. Insert the M.2 card into the empty socket at an approximate 30° angle
Warning: M.2 cards are keyed. Do not force an M.2 card into a slot with mismatched keying.
Refer to M.2 Edge Connector Keying for a depiction of the different M.2 key types.
4. Gently push down the M.2 NMVe card until it snaps into place against the retaining clip.
There should be an audible “snap” sound as the retaining clip locks the drive into position.

Danger: Ensure that the retaining clip is fully engaged to avoid damaging the SSD!
