What kind of a slot is this, please?

It's in Lenovo Thinkcentre M920q. I did check the manual and it seems that the optional Wi-Fi card goes here (which I do not have), but it does not say what slot this is. And I couldn't find the correct keywords to google for the answer based off the pin count.

  • Lenovo says its a M.2 slot only for wifi, scroll down for Tech Specs>>>>>https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/desktops-and-all-in-ones/thinkcentre/m-series-tiny/ThinkCentre-M920q/p/11TC1MTM92Q – Moab Jul 12 '20 at 21:16
  • @Moab: so it is electrically M.2, but physically it's nothing standard? Do you think it's impossible to connect other PCI-E devices to this slot, even if I had the right passive adapter? – Violet Giraffe Jul 12 '20 at 21:17

    Its special for wifi cards only, M2E slot, NGFF M2 standard. There is a M2A slot also, it has the key slot in a different place.>>>>https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-PCs-NGFF-Card-2-4GHz-Bluetooth-Wireless-AC/dp/B07FMKHKQY – Moab Jul 12 '20 at 21:23
