DEll XPS 8920 tower without Optane

My Dell XPS 8920, I7-7700 came without Optane. If you purchase a Intel Optane memory card, does it install in the #8 solid-state drive slot (M.2 SSD) shown on the Motherboard Diagram or is this only for SSD or is there a dedicated M2 slot just for Intel Optane.  I have a 1 TB SATA Drive. 

Thanks

It goes in the M.2 slot, which can be used either for an Optane module (to accelerate a SATA hard drive), OR for a native NVMe M.2 SSD (i.e., you can't have both in the same system;  there's only one slot).
