Presentation, Bundle and Manual

Being such a small product, you won't be surprised to learn that the Epia MII motherboard comes in an equally diminutive box.

Bundle

The bundle is pretty basic, but contains almost everything you should need, featuring as it does the motherboard itself, back plate, manual, driver disc and a single ATA and floppy cable.

Personally, I always wish we would see two ATA cables (one for each channel available) as part of the bundle, but this rarely seems to happen, leaving you needing to find yourself a second cable if you want to use a hard disk on one channel, and CD-ROM on the other.

The supplied manual covers all of the important information about the motherboard, its connectors etc, as well as giving comprehensive instructions on the features available in the BIOS.
