Documentation and Included Items
There is a very nice manual included with the board that describes all jumpers and connectors, and has a nice set of pictures and illustrations for those less familiar with installing a motherboard. A CD is also included that contains all drivers.
Both a 40-pin and an 80-pin (ATA/66) IDE cable are included, as well as a 34-pin (floppy) cable. The Universal Retention module for the processor is also included, but you will have to install it yourself.
