Opening the box, MSI has put all of the accessories DVDs and manuals on top of the motherboard separated by a cardboard sheet. MSI really went all out in terms of the bundle on the MSI X58M motherboard. There are four SATA Data cables two SATA Power cables to provide enough cables to run a four disk RAID system, a Crossfire bridge for connecting two ATI video cards, M-Connect which serves the same function as Q-Connect, User Guides for the manual and the HDDBackup utility, and a Quick Start Guide. HDDBackup is MSI's backup and restore utility they include with their motherboards. You can backup a partition on an image file then restore it later if the data is lost or problems occur. You need a source and a archive partition to use the utility. Select a source then select the target partition and a folder within that partition to store the image into. The utility will back up the software after confirming that is what you want to do. To restore the partition simply select restore from image files and select the folder with the image file to restore from then select the restore target partition and confirm it. MSI also includes a copy of Norton's Internet Security 2009 OEM Edition with the bundle. Contents:
