Packaging

The box the ASUS Z87I-PRO comes in is pretty basic at this point, using a design we have seen over and over again, although the box is truly tiny but deep this time around. Both front and back are covered in rather basic information I will not bore you with.


That blank piece of cardboard greeting me after I opened the box left me with a blank stare. The cardboard cover keeps the small P87I-PRO from sliding around in the box, and once removed, I found the P87I-PRO itself wrapped in an anti-static bag. I located the included accessories under another piece of cardboard below the board.

There is a fair bit of stuff here, including a couple of extras, like a pin block extender to make case wiring a bit simpler, enough SATA 6 Gb/s cables for every port, and ASUS's proprietary wireless antenna. A full list of what I found is below:

• User's manual
• I/O shield
• 6 x SATA 6Gb/s cables
• 1 x ASUS 2T2R dual-band Wi-Fi moving antennas (Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n/ac compliant)
• 1 x Front-panel cable kit
• 1 x ASUS case badge
• 1 x Driver disc
