2.9 M.2_SSD (NGFF) Module Installation Guide (M2_1 and
M2_2)
The M.2, also known as the Next Generation Form Factor (NGFF), is a small size and
versatile card edge connector that aims to replace mPCIe and mSATA. The Ultra M.2
Sockets (M2_1) supports M Key type 2230/2242/2260/2280 M.2 SATA3 6.0 Gb/s module
and M.2 PCI Express module up to Gen3 x4 (32 Gb/s). The Ultra M.2 Socket (M2_2)
supports M Key type 2230/2242/2260/2280/22110 M.2 SATA3 6.0 Gb/s module and M.2
PCI Express module up to Gen3 x4 (32 Gb/s).
* M2_1, SATA3_0 and SATA3_1 share lanes. If either one of them is in use, the others will
be disabled.
* If M2_2 is occupied by a SATA-type M.2 device, SATA3_3 will be disabled.
