Recently purchased this machine and I'd like to add some options boards so I can use the front bezel USB-C port and SD card. I know the modules can plug in to the mainboard but I'm not finding any option boards on HP Part Surfer website.
I want to add
-USB-C option board
-SD card option board
These will allow me to use the slots in the front bezel that have the little plastic cutout.

the SD card reader Option (and USB port) are only available when configuring a system for purchase they cannot be added later
this is why parts surfer does not list them
however i suspect the card reader is the one that hp uses in several other models
the HP card reader is a SD only form factor reader, which can also read micro SD's using a adapter
the HP part number of this reader is 797441-001 or 796321-001, (search on eBay) it's around 30.00
personally, i would install a 5.25 to 3.5 tray adapter in the systems front panel
and then install a 3.5in usb 3.0 multi format card reader using a low profile pci-e 3.1 card w/19 pin header

for the USB ports, i suspect you require the "flex-IO" v2 board part number 13L60AT
