The M�2 SSD that can be used with this device has a fast transfer speed and is therefore
subject to reaching high temperatures� If the M�2 SSD does not include a heat-dissipation
mechanism, attach a heat conductor, such as a heat sink, a heat transfer sheet, or both�
For information on how to attach the heat conductor, refer to its manual�
If you use your device without heat-dissipation parts, or the heat-dissipation parts come
o during use, the M�2 SSD may overheat, and continued use may cause operation
failure�
