MSI Z97 GAMING 7 motherboard boardview, MSI board number MS-7916, revision 1.0, provided as a .cad file. MSI labels its own designs with the MS-xxxx code printed on the PCB, and that code plus revision should match before you trust the layout. The CAD format is readable in boardview tools such as FlexBV, OpenBoardView or Boardviewer, showing part placement and net connectivity. Use it to locate the VRM, chipset rails, BIOS chip and test points when measuring voltages or hunting down a short to ground.
The button opens the matching file on RM Schematics, or a source page if it is not catalogued there yet. The original attachment is from @boardviews. Enginerys does not host this file.
