Accessories packaging

EVGA includes an EVGA Control Panel with their X58 3X SLI Classified packaging but not their X58 3X Classified board as it is an additional purchase. The ECP has a Reset button, a Power button, a Clear CMOS button, LEDs for the CPU VCore Booster, a Debug LED and jumpers for enabling/disabling PCI Express slots on a mini card. To install the ECP simply attach the included black cable to the P80P headers and one end to the card. To use the PCI Express Disable jumpers on the ECP remove the jumpers from the motherboard and use the PCIE jumper cable to connect them.
