ASRock includes a fair number of accessories with the X99 Extreme11, many of which were hidden inside that black foam bag. A full list of what I found is below:
  • User's manual
  • 2 x ASRock SLI_Bridge Cards
  • 1 x ASRock SLI_Bridge_3S Card
  • 1 x ASRock 3-Way SLI Bridge Card
  • 1 x Quick Installation Guide
  • 1 x Support CD
  • 1 x I/O Shield
  • 6 x SATA Data Cables
  • 1 x HDD Saver Cable
  • 2 x Screws for Ultra M.2 Sockets

Normally, I'd free the accessories of their plastic wrappers, but I didn't here because I wanted to draw your attention to the fact that these all come in re-usable packaging, rather than throw-away plastic wraps. The exception to this are the SATA cables which proudly proclaim to specifically be for SATA 6 Gb/s usage. While many might question whether a cable's design matters, I have tested numerous boards with their included cables, and I can assure you that it DOES matter. Using the wrong cable can affect performance by as much as 100 MB/s, or may not let your drive work at all if you use one of those really old and cheaply made SATA cables that harken back to the first generation. However, look for the clip on the end of a cable and your drive should at least boot.
