[SOLVED] M.2 wifi card too wide for slot

[jaccoberg2281]

I bought a M.2 wifi card( Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 ). On the product page it said it would fit in M.2 sockets 2230 and 1216. My motherboard (Asrock Fatal1ty AB350 Gaming K4) also stated in the manual that the second slot could accept 2230 cards. But whenn I tried to install it the wifi card is too wide. Now I was wondering is it possible that the card is too wide or the slot of the motherboard isnt wide enough? Or could it be something else that I might have missed?

Those numbers are just the length of cards to be plugged in, not M.2 width.

Alright ty, thought that it would mean if it was compatible with the slot, that there where multiple kind of slots

M.2 slots are all same width buy may be keyed to accept cards with different cards https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M.2
