Printed pages 1 and 13 describe tool-free slide-out chassis after hand-tightened screws. Page 10 says the electrical PCIe x4 slot is physically x8. The second mechanical x16 slot uses proprietary signals and is occupied by the included 25G plus two-NVMe card, so no generic electrical lane count is assigned. M.2 E-key WLAN slot and its PCIe 4.0 x1 support appear on pages 9-10. No SATA drive bay is inferred from support for SATA on one M.2 connector. SFP28 text is on page 8. Package items marked optional by region are omitted.
