L7S7A2- Is the Case I/O template/backplate/port-cover Thingy Included?

Hello all,
I ordered a L7S7A2 and it should be here in a few days. The thing is,
I just noticed that the I/O port configuration on the back is
COMPLETELY different from the K7S5A board that it will be replacing.
In fact, I've never seen a configuration like the L7S7A2's and I don't
have a backplate for my case that will fit it.

BTW: I've heard these things called by MANY different names, so to
prevent confusion, what I'm referring to is the little rectangle metal
piece that goes on to the back of your case that the com,lpt, usb,
etc. ports stick out of...

So, is one included with the board?(crosses fingers)

If not, anyone know where I can buy a plate for my case that will fit
over the L7S7A2's ports?


....I seem to remember that the plate was included with my K7S5A, but I
can't remember for sure...

Thanks for any help/advice

Included, included.....
Slang

Yes, the I/O plate is included. Also has the knock-out for Firewire/1394
but even though the onboard Firewire is supposed to be "optional" I
understand it can't be had anywhere.
