Installing the solid state drive

About this task

The following images indicate the location of the solid state drive and provide a visual representation of the installation procedure.

1. NOTE:Install the M.2 2230 SSD to the SSD bracket so that the top side of the SSD (with the sticker) is facing up.
   Align the notch and slide the solid-state drive into the M.2 slot of the system board.
2. Push the SSD to align the screw holes on the system board and replace the single M2x2 screw securing it to the system board.
3. NOTE:Slide the SSD plate into place over the SSD so that the tabs on the SSD plate fit into the openings on the system board shielding cover.

   

   Replace the SSD thermal plate on top of the SSD and secure it using the single M2x2 screw to the system board.
   CAUTION:A thermal pad is included with the SSD plate and must always be adhered to the plate. If in the process of replacing the SSD, the pad is separated from the plate or gets adhered to the SSD, technicians must re-adhere the thermal pad to the SSD plate before re-installing the plate to the system.

   NOTE:System will be reboot 2-3 times automatically within 1 min, after SSD/ WWAN card and battery cable is re-connected.
