Step 1: Install Thermal Pads
If using an M.2 NVMe SSD, apply the thermal pad to the surface of the SSD to enhance heat conduction and dissipation.

Step 4: Secure the Antenna Mounts
Install the antenna mounts into the antenna slots on the top cover.
You can choose which antenna mount interfaces to use. For unused antenna interfaces, use the snap-in plugs to prevent dust from entering.
Step 5: Connect the Antennas
Align the antenna connectors vertically with the WiFi/BT module interfaces on the motherboard and press down until you hear a "click" sound, indicating they are properly connected.
