Intentions of the Kit

This kit provides you with the motherboard and all connecting cables necessary to install the moth- erboard into a PC case. If you are building a PC, you will use most of the cables provided in the kit. If however, you are replacing a motherboard, you will not need many of the cables.

When replacing a motherboard in a PC case, you will need to reinstall an operating system even though the current drives have an operating system.
