I maybe thaught that one can use a mini PCIe slot some how. On the Asus Website for the VI Impact stands the following info:

  • Expansion Slots1 x PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16
    1 x mini-PCIe 2.0 x1 *1

The mini-PCIe slot is in the middle of the board and is usually used for things like WiFi and SSDs that either don't require back panel output or only have a couple of thin wires (WiFi antenna). In the case of the MVII, it is a non-standard form factor used exclusively for the WiFi/BT combo card.
