In the box for the X99 Classified motherboard there is a small bag with two silver screws in it.
What are these for?

EVGA X99 Classified
Intel i7-5960X
64GB Corsair Dominator 2400MHz DDR4

    Those are for the m.2 slots on the board. If you look between the PCI lanes, you will see the m.2 ssd slot, and under the sound board section is the WiFi /Bluetooth m.2. The spots are there, and the mount can move but the screws are in a separate baggie.

    I just realized that after switching some DVI cables around and looking at the board.

    LoL. It happens. :-) I think they keep them out just in case there is any minor vibration from the fans, it doesn't rattle loose over time. Asus just installs it straight into the mount and leaves it there, lol.

    The one between the PCI-E slots is for storage and the smaller of the two is for Wifi/Bluetooth and storage as well.
