It would be useful to have a printed legend for module slots

It would be useful to have a printed legend next to each module slot, at least its number, as shown here: Expansion Card Slot functionality on Framework Laptop 16

You mean we should engrave the numbers in the expansion card slots?

Yes, engrave, print, or label in any other way.
If it was also showing the capabilities of ports (e.g. USB4, 240W charging etc) it would be even better.

I think this is a sound suggestion. Probably 6 stickers to accompany the mainboard with (because slot capability will depend on the mainboard generation), be it a DIY/non-DIY or standalone mainboard. And the stickers just need to be in the box, not stuck on at the factory. Let the end-user decide if they want to stick them to the vacant slots (minimizing factory assembly steps)
