Default '06 knock sensor location

I have a CEL on for what turns out to be knock sensor #2. The service advisor tells me it's located under the intake manifold. One of the techs said it's under the motor, with the exhaust manifold having to be moved to get to it. Doing a quick search here, some members are saying it's just above the starter. I need this sensor changed, but I want to know where it is. Who's right?? Thanks.

There is one on each side of the block. The exhaust manifolds would need to come off to get to them.
