Optiplex 3060 Micro - slot2_M.2

Question

I have a Dell micro 3060. In the BIOS there is reference to a second M.2 port: slot2_M.2 Is this physically present and if so how can it be used?Do any of the other form factors of these machines have the ability to install 2 M.2 data devices? I am assuming that this is not referring to the wifi or video connectors, but not sure.

One M.2 port is for NVMe storage (PCIe), another for WiFi CNVi device.Each slot has different pin key and second (WiFi) slot is for short devices only (2230 standard)

The specs call for only one M.2 SSD. The other slot is for optional cards like a wi-fi card.
