Before installing the M.2 backplane and M.2 drive:
1. Touch the static-protective package that contains the new M.2 backplane and M.2 drive to any
unpainted surface on the outside of the server. Then, take the new M.2 backplane and M.2 drive out of
the package and place them on a static-protective surface.
2. Adjust the retainer on the M.2 backplane to accommodate the particular size of the M.2 drive you wish
to install. See "Adjust the retainer on the M.2 backplane" on page 140.
3. Locate the connector on each side of the M.2 backplane.
Notes:
• Some M.2 backplanes support two identical M.2 drives. When two M.2 drives are installed, align and
support both M.2 drives when sliding the retainer forward to secure the M.2 drives.
• Install the M.2 drive in slot 0 first.
