Due to reported issue with forum, I’m going to try posting just the title and add the problem description next.

okay, finally I could start a new topic.
Here’s the problem:
From the beelink site description of EQR6 7735HS:
EQR6 supports DDR5 4800MHz of up to 64GB. There are dual M.2 PCle 4.0 SSD slots, supporting up to 8TB fast internal storage.
After following the video on how to replace ram and SSD, I removed the heat sink, and I see only a single slot for an M.2 drive.
Am I missing something or is the description of the EQR6 inaccurate?
Perhaps this is a try to implement the comments I made in a PM.
If it is, then I might add, I’d like to see a thread that had not been replied to since 2022 regarding perple interested in Manjaro moved over to the Manjaro subsection. Thanks.
The actual problem post isn’t showing because it’s “awaiting approval”.
Hi there,
Could you please send us a picture to show the M.2 slot?
That’s not possible. I reassembled everything. I had to remove the bottom panel, the front peripheral module, and the heat sink fins to access the SSD card (as seen in your “replace ram and ssd on EQR6” video).
After removing the heat sink, it was clear there was only one M.2 slot. And only space for one.
What bothers me is that I selected the EQR6 because it advertised two M.2 slots, but that advertisement appears to be false. I just wanted to ask where the claim of two slots comes from.
Hello there,
Pls refer to this tutorial to disassemble the SSD: https://url.bee-link.cn/F9Rf ,then pls send us the video or picture about that.
Could you please send us a picture of SN code at the bottom of machine in private message?
I just received my EQR yesterday. It came with a 500GB nvme, but while it was shipping I found I had a 1TB WD Black850. I pulled the furnished nvme so i could clone it to the 1TB nvme before initializing the computer. The original nvme was found below the bottom of the heat sink I figure you found. As I pulled more screws to remove that flat black plate with about 4 or 5 fins on the side to get to the Corsair nvme I saw it was put in suck that diodes and other small sodered on parts were showing. But it did not want to come up or out easily. I found about half way down the “stick” it was binding. Working gently, I pried it up and pulled it out of the slot (the Identifying tag was “upside down” and it appeared to me that it might have stuck to one of the WiFi antenna wires that snaked over/between two capacitors). That’s the one I think you are looking for.
The Mega link to the tutorial that support send you is quite good - but don’t try to view it directly from the web server. Download it locally, then view it. However, there’s another youtube video out there, but it’s “long-winded” and the ond support has made available is much quicker to watch.
Hello there,
Thanks a million for your kind sharing and comment.
There is confusion about the location of the 2 SSD slots mainly because reviews posted on the Internet show removal of the ENTIRE heatsink to reveal the primary SSD. THIS DOES NOT REVEAL THE SECOND socket. The heatsink, itself, has 2 sections! Notice there are 2 screws on top of the heatsink. These and the middle screw allow removal of that portion of the heatsink which is for the 2nd SSD. When removed, you will notice there is a socket.
Two very important things to notice. First, the middle screw is smaller than other screws which hold the heatsinks in place. Second, any SSD which is used MUST NOT have a heatsink of its own.
Hello there,

Thanks…
Note: On the EQR5 the “middle screw” is on the corner of the heatsink. Hope this helps someone,
