K7S5A,Backplate

[snooli53]

Recently bought a K7S5A Pro motherboard but it did not come with a backplate. Does not look to be standard ATX type. Where can I find a K7S5A backplate? Looks like this...

ECS will mail you one for $7.00. You can just call them and ask for it

Just so you know . . . it's called an I/O Backplate

... and it should have been included with the board.

What? I've never seen a backplate come with a board, apart from the Abit AT7 and similar, and that was for obvious reasons.
They are supposed to come with the case.

The original plan of ATX 2.0 was to include the face plate with the boards, so the board makers can have the connectors arranged any way they want.

The consensus then was that the cases include a face plate for the standard arrangement (top to bottom: mouse/keyboard, 2x USB+LAN, 2xCOM+LPT, sound+game), and the boards include one if the arrangement differs from this.

Now every ECS/PC-Chips board w/ nonstandard connector layout I bought did include a matching plate.
