I talked to a friend and he said that it looked like there were 3 screws holding the heatsink. Maybe there is a screw that is covered by the label? Hmmm
So when I got up this morning, I took the computer apart again and looked at the heatsink cover.
There was absolutely no screw covered up. So I put my fingers behind the heatsink where it shows a screw might be.
I did find something sticking up from the motherboard to the heatsink cover.
I put a finger on both sides of it a pulled a little. The heatsink cover popped right off.
The SSD is installed and I now have 2 TB in my new computer.
I can see now what the drawing was trying to say. Not obvious at all.
There should be a note in the book that explains that better.
Anyway, issue solved. I hope anyone else with this issue will read this and save them a lot of time and anguish.
Thanks for all who replied.]]> Thu, 16 Sep 2021 21:34:59 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=19566&PID=90259&title=x299-steel-legend-m2-issue#90259 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=19566&PID=90255&title=x299-steel-legend-m2-issue#90255 Author: The_Nephilim

I am sorry, I guess I did not explain it too well. It's not the SSD I can't remove. It is the heat sink cover.]]> Thu, 16 Sep 2021 08:16:38 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=19566&PID=90252&title=x299-steel-legend-m2-issue#90252 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=19566&PID=90251&title=x299-steel-legend-m2-issue#90251 Author: The_Nephilim

well it should be on an angle when inserting it and removing it and it should not be too hard to pull it out..

perhaps you inserted it wrong?]]> Thu, 16 Sep 2021 08:08:20 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=19566&PID=90251&title=x299-steel-legend-m2-issue#90251 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=19566&PID=90250&title=x299-steel-legend-m2-issue#90250 Author: jdscogin

I was able to install the M.2 on the short side of the U. But when I try to take the other side off, it does not seem to come up. It's the part that has the "Steel Legend" logo that lights up. I tried pulling on it pretty hard, and it did not budge. I need someone that has installed the second M.2 to tell me if I should pull harder.]]> Thu, 16 Sep 2021 07:28:29 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=19566&PID=90250&title=x299-steel-legend-m2-issue#90250
