Onboard M.2 SSD installation

The location of the two standard onboard M.2 SSDs can be seen in this picture:

Each M.2 module consists of the M.2 carrier, heatsink, and the drive itself.

1. Open the side cover of the P7 and remove any PCIe adapters that may

interfere with accessing the onboard M.2 slots.

2. Rotate the red latch counterclockwise to release the M.2 carrier.

3. Tilt the front side of the M.2 carrier up slightly and pull to the right to

remove it from the socket.

Caution: Tilting the carrier to an angle greater than about 20° can damage

the socket.

4. Lay the M.2 carrier flat on a desk and carefully separate the heat sink from

the carrier by gently pushing two of the tabs on one side away from the heat

sink.

5. Remove the plastic insert as well as the thermal pad plastic film.

6. Insert the M.2 drive carefully in the M.2 carrier as shown below.

7. Reinstall the heatsink on top of the M.2 drive within the carrier by inserting

the feet on one side of the heat sink into the openings of two of the tabs on

one side of the carrier. Then press down on the other side of the heat sink

until the feet engage the tabs on the heatsink.

8. Insert the M.2 carrier back into the onboard M.2 slot at a slight angle and

press the end down into the slot.

Caution: Be careful not to use excessive force as this risks breaking the M.2

slot.

9. Rotate the red latch clockwise to the locked position, securing the M.2

carrier into the system.
