The P55H-AK motherboard from ECS comes packed in two cardboard boxes, one internal and one external with lots of artwork; on the frontal part we can see lots of icons representing the supported technologies, a large company logo, the full name of the motherboard and the fact that it takes part from the Black Series:



On one of the laterals, we can see some of the product specifications, written in several languages:



The back of the box holds information regarding most of the motherboard’s features:



The box is pretty large, so it is also provided with a handle, so we will be able to carry it easier out of the shop:

The motherboard is held inside a plastic package and under it we can find another cardboard box, with accessories:

The User Guide is also present, along with general documentation on how to install generic hardware components:



Inside the manual, we are explained the basics and how to install step by step the rest of the hardware onto the motherboard:
