Pavilion Gaming 690 front LED control? Also, can I add a second M.2 NVME SSD in the second M.2 slot?

Is there any way to customize, or even turn off, the two green LEDs without unplugging the LEDs from the motherboard?

Sorry for the two-parter, but I hoped these are both relatively simple; I work in IT and I'm relatively savvy, but not familiar with the M.2 spec... Are there any conflicts to adding a second M.2 SSD? I see there are 2x M.2 slots, and I'm not sure what else I would use that for.

@soapboxrhythm , welcome to the forum.

Q:  Is there any way to customize, or even turn off, the two green LEDs without unplugging the LEDs from the motherboard?

A:  I don't believe that there is a way to control or turn off the LED lights in the case.  I have had several HP desktops with the lights and there has never been any controls for them, except to change colors with Omen Command Center.

Q:  Are there any conflicts to adding a second M.2 SSD? I see there are 2x M.2 slots, and I'm not sure what else I would use that for.

A:  One of the sockets is for a M.2 socket 1, 2230 type for WLAN and the other is for a M.2 socket 3, 2280 type for SSD.  You can't use the first socket for a M.2, SSD.  Here is the Motherboard Specifications page for the computer.  Look at the section titled "Expansion Slots" to see the information that I provided.
