First Look at the 925XE7AA-8EKRS2:

The retail style box containing the Foxconn 925XE7AA motherboard and accessories is about double the size of a usual motherboard box. Foxconn has included tons of accessories with this board to ensure hassle free installation.

The motherboard itself is standard ATX dimensions, utilizing a 24pin & 4pin +12v connector for power. The Northbridge has a good sized heatsink on it, along with active cooling. More details about the board on the next page.

One extremely nice thing about Foxconn motherboards that we have reviewed is their manuals are all very well written. The installation manual is extremely detailed and thorough, covering basic installation, pin-out diagrams, every BIOS setting, and even included software installation. Floppies have been included for RAID support when installing Windows, and a RAID users guide details each of the controllers various options. PCI brackets have been included for additional USB & Firewire connections. The CD contains chipset & device drivers, Foxconn Super Utilities, and a 90 version of Norton Internet Security 2004. Foxconn is usually pretty good about coming out with new BIOS updates & current drivers on their website, so it is always worth checking to make sure everything is up to date.
