2. Place the SATA drive with the HDD bracket into the system. Align the
mounting holes on the HDD bracket with the mounting holes on the
mainboard and use the provided screws to secure the drive in place.

Installing a SODIMM
Grasp the module by its edges and align the SODIMM’s notch with the socket’s
key; then insert the SODIMM into the socket at an angle and push it forward
until the retaining clips snap behind. Make sure that you have inserted the
module fully into the socket so that the retaining clips will snap into place.
Notes:
1. The system supports dual-channel conguration. To enable dual-channel,
populate both SODIMM sockets.
2. If you plan to install only one SODIMM, install it in the DDR4_1 socket (closer
to the center of the mainboard).
3. The SODIMM sockets can only accept DDR4 memory modules. Please do not
install other types of memory modules.
To remove a SODIMM, gently spread the retaining clips at each end of the SO-
DIMM socket. The SODIMM should pop out of the socket. Lift the SODIMM away
from the socket on the mainboard.

The Mini PCIe socket is located on the mainboard. Remove the HDD bracket rst
to access the socket. Use the following procedure to install a Mini PCIe card:
1. Grasp the Mini PCIe card by its edges and align the notch in the connector of
the Mini PCIe card with the notch in the connector on the mainboard.
2. Insert the Mini PCIe card into the connector.

Note:
The M.2 slot provides PCIe, USB, and SATA signals and can accommodate common
mobile broadband and storage modules.
Installing an M.2 Expansion Card
The system is equipped with one M.2 socket, supporting the M.2 22x42mm (key B)
form factor. Remove the HDD bracket rst to access the socket. Use the following
procedure to install an M.2 card:
Insert the card
at an angle

1. Align the notch at the edge of the M.2 card with the key in the connector.
2. Insert the M.2 card into the connector.
3. Push down on the other end of the M.2 card and secure and card on
the mainboard with the provided mounting screw (same size as the
Mini PCIe screw).

Installing a PCIe Expansion Card
The PCIe slot on the riser card inside the system is used to install expansion cards.
Use the following procedure to install a Mini PCIe card:
Slot plate
Mounting screw and bracket
1. Remove the slot plate and bracket by removing the screw on the front chassis.
Note:
The riser card (DFI model: T100-1E) has a x16 PCIe connector (PCIe Gen3 x4 lanes).
