Optiplex SFF M.2 wifi slot

Question

I want to install Intel Ax210 kit in Optiplex 5070 SFF but the service manual does not say anything about the M.2 slot. I am assuming it is near the SSD M.2 slot under the optical drive. Has anyone installed the Intel Ax210 kit? Any help would be appreciated. I want

The M.2 slot for a WiFi adapter is next to the 6 pin power plug and below the SATA ports if you are looking at the MB with the PCIe slots at the bottom.

Thanks JOCEAN! The photo was most helpful. I figured once I removed the optical that I would see it but it really helps to know before I start. Can't believe Dell did not mention the wifi slot in the service manual.

Happy to help out and you are correct. That M.2 port was nowhere to be found in the service manual. Yet it specifically states in the specs that the M.2 WiFi 2230 port is on the MB.

How do you cable the antenna. I put in a DW1560 card. I stick the main to the speaker and the aux to the ram. The signal strength is so so.
