Generally speaking, the Smartbay is wired much like the other internal iMON devices. You will receive an ATX cable allowing you to power the PC on/off with the remote, a USB cable for the iPad and dock itself and a cable to route the iPad audio out the back of the chassis. On top of that, there are various cables to attach your sound system to the rear connectors. There are also four screws and foam pads as present. As with all other iMON devices, you will also receive a remote control, manual and application CD.
