Here's the Service Manual:

Here is what you see when you open the back (start on p. 37 for how to):

HDD slot = square M.2 slot = circle

There are two ways to install an SSD. Replace the hard drive (blue square) with a 2.5 inch SATA SSD like the Samsung 850 Evo:

This type of SSD is the same size and shape as the hard drive so you just swap the original HDD for one of these. 

Or, you can add a 2280 form factor SATA M.2 "gumstick" type disk in the position you see circled in red. 

This can be installed in addition to the original hard drive and the system adjusted to run Windows from the M.2 disk (post back if you need specific help with that-not terribly difficult to do).

The Manual link works for me. Try this:

There are screws under the rubber strips on the bottom. Remove the strips carefully and do not stretch them. You may need to use a drop of rubber cement to reattach.
