Would you upload a pic of which slot the wifi card is installed in to ? The mSATA and mPCIe slots are pretty much identical in pins and shape and could easily be mistaken. slot #6 is where it needs to be installed.Still, I want to get the internal header working on this USDT, so that I can close up the case
Image attached. I'm using mSATA with 256GB Samsung 860 EVO. Really nice boot times; Clover is the slowest part . Windows and macOS in about 7 seconds.Would you upload a pic of which slot the wifi card is installed in to ?

It is really crazy for HP to not include USB 2.0 via that mini PCIe slot. As you know, Dell does in their USFF model. It's just a simple task to pop in the miniPCIe Wifi card (no screws or adapters needed) connect the antennas and it works. I got rid of my HP USFF mainly due to the fan noise but also because the Dell version looks better too. I can run my 7010 Dell USFF fanless (with an i5) and also have a wifi card that works great. I also prefer the internal PSU instead of the external brick.HP did NOT implement the full mini PCIe specification and did NOT include USB on pins 36,38, which would have eliminated all of this hassle.
Indeed. All good reasons to switch. I picked up this HP USDT for "fun" as it was only $100 with the power supply. Now I am too stubborn and won't give up until I get it working the way I want. But I agree, I like my Dell USFF better. In fact the build quality and design of the Optiplex line is really impressive an enjoyable. As an example, take the little things like the 3.5" AND 2.5" drive caddy design... just nice.It is really crazy for HP to not include USB 2.0 via that mini PCIe slot.

@trs96 do you have any more information on this? Do you mean NO CPU fan and NO PSU fan? Temperature controlled? I have put Noctua fans in my 8300USFF but fanless would be perfect..I can run my 7010 Dell USFF fanless (with an i5)
All of them have dual DP. The MT, DT and SFF all have two DP outputs unlike the one DP HP gives you.looks like the 7010USFF has full size RAM, and some models have dual DP connections?
Have you connected the USB 2.0 cable to Media 1 or Media 2 header ? If not try that first.Any suggestions would be appreciated.
