I intend to upgrade to a M.2 NVMe SSD on my X2660G. There's a M.2 NVMe slot (2280) but with no screw nor standoff, I just see a hex nut. Anyone who fitted an NVMe on their X2660G can advise? Thanks.

    Yeah, that's not for the M.2 SSD… Here's the relevant portion of the motherboard:

    That cyan circle should show where the standoff is for a 2280 format SSD. If you need a 2242 instead, just move the standoff to where the #12 line makes it's corner. If you don't have a standoff where the circle is, it's a standard M.2 so readily available from vendors like Amazon.

    Mine is 2280 M.2 NVMe. The cyan circle you drawn is where the screw should be but there's no screw. Just a hex nt with a hole. Think just get a screw to try?
