Pages 16-17 state two screws and removal of M.2 SSD module(s), diagram explicitly marks both sockets. Page 22 inserts modules into connector(s). Exact XB96 matrix 2 x M.2 includes used and installed 1 TB resolves occupied/free rows. FAQ one user-replaceable SSD does not explicitly exclude second expansion socket. Do not infer PCIe maximum per connector from installed drive. Independent verification actual page 17 image depicts the three-fan option, so its cooling layout and factory depicted drive population are not applied to retained 5070 Ti two-fan tier. Exact XB96 primary expansion row independently says 2x M.2 includes used. Guide supports socket layout only.
