| Manual and Labeling |
++ A very detailed motherboard manual in English and an additional quick reference guide. However, the motherboard inscription was very badly converted caused by the layout. The unfavorably placed motherboard inscription is without a view into the manual unfortunately not clearly defined for the front panel ports, etc. and it would be possible to connect wrong cables by a mistake (same pin layout). |
