I think the "Storage Expansion Card" is not necessary for installation. Most of the Youtube videos I've seen about installing Linux on the Framework don't mention this addon at all, so it is probably not required. Additionally, it is not referenced anywhere else in the installation instructions.
It is probably referenced in case you want to dual boot (you can install to the expansion card), or in case you want to use the expansion card as a USB stick.
Oh, I should have thought to check youtube videos, thanks for the info.
