Accessories Bundle

Now that we have taken close look at the DFI LANParty LT X38-T2R mainboard and saw that the primary color scheme is green, the color of the bundles cables will no longer be a surprise to us:

Like every other mainboard, DFI LANParty LT X38-T2R comes with an I/O Shield panel. It also includes a tube of thermal grease for the chipset North Bridge heatsink, a card for even application of this grease, four additional jumpers and the sound module cable connecting it to the mainboard connector located right in front of the lower PCI slots.

The only thing missing on the Bernstein audio module is the optical S/PDIF, so you will have to purchase it separately, if you really need it. And the connection to the mainboard with a short cable is actually very convenient, as it allows you to place the module anywhere you want on the back panel without losing precious space.

Moreover, the DFI LANParty LT X38-T2R bundle also includes user’s manual, installation guide for the chipset North Bridge heatsink, a floppy disk with RAID drivers and a CD disk with other drivers and utilities. Among these utilities there is only ClockGen from CPUID.com web-site and SmartGuardian monitoring tool from ITE.
