2. Allinja l-modulu tal-memorja mas-slott, filwaqt li tiżgura li l-islott fuq il-modulu taqbel maċ-ċavetta fis-slott.
3. Agħfas sew 'l isfel fuq iż-żewġt itruf tal-modulu tal-memorja sakemm il-klipps jidħlu f'posthom.

5.3. Installazzjoni ta' Apparat tal-Ħażna

The motherboard supports M.2 drives and SATA devices.

M.2 Drive Installation

• The board features one M.2 M-Key slot (SATA/PCIe 3.0 x4, supporting 2280/22110 form factors) and one M.2 E-Key slot (CNVi/PCIe 3.0 x1, supporting 2230 form factor).
• Insert the M.2 drive into the slot at an angle.
• Gently push down the drive and secure it with the provided M.2 screw.

Installazzjoni tad-Drajv SATA

• Connect one end of the SATA data cable to a SATA port on the motherboard and the other end to your SATA storage device (HDD/SSD).
• Connect a SATA power cable from your power supply to the SATA storage device.

5.4. Installazzjoni tal-Karta tal-Espansjoni
