The EX-10 comes in a very
simple blue box which has diagrams printed in the back on how to connect
your device depending upon your need. Since the EX-10 can be used both
as a break out box or as an internal 5.25" bay panel, Lian Li had
to provide all the necessary tools for either configuration. I decided
to go the route of an internal panel since I had plenty of 5.25 inch bays
to spare. Here are some pictures that were taken of the box and it's internals:
Lian Li packages a nice slot bracket
for those who do decide to hook the panel internally. The reason for the
slot bracket is to hold the end of the extension cable in place. This
extension cables runs the length from the back of the panel to the slot
bracket which I placed into an empty PCI slot. Once the bracket was in
place, I hooked up the second cable which had all the breakout cables
that connected to the various I/O ports in the back of my box. This design
is actually pretty sweet since if you used the panel as an external breakout
box, you would do pretty much the exact same procedure except for the
use of the slot bracket since you don't need it.
The following are pictures of the
panel itself. The colors are off a bit only because of my digital camera
settings. It really isn't blue but a silver aluminum color. I didn't get
a chance to color correct the shots.
I've added the diagram in the back
of the box here as a way to describe how one would use such a device.
