5-4 Connecting Cables
Now that the processors are installed, the next step is to connect the cables to
the serverboard. These include the data (ribbon) cables for the peripherals and
control panel and the power cables.
Connecting Data Cables
The ribbon cables used to transfer data from the peripheral devices have been
carefully routed in to prevent them from blocking the airfl ow throiugh the chassis.
If you need to disconnect any of these cables, you should take care to reroute
them as they were originally when reconnecting them (make sure the red wires
connect to the pin 1 locations). The following data cables (with their serverboard
connector locations noted) should be connected (refer to the serverboard layout
diagram for connector locations.
DVD-ROM cable (JIDE1)
Floppy Drive cable (Floppy)
Control Panel cable (JF1, see next page)
1040C-T: SATA cables (SATA0-SATA2)
1040C-8: SCSI cables (JA1)
Connecting Power Cables
The H8QCE+/H8QC8+ has a 24-pin primary power supply connector "J1B1" for
connection to the ATX power supply. Connect the appropriate connector from
the power supply to J1B1 connector to supply power to the serverboard. See the
Connector Defi nitions section in this chapter for power connector pin defi nitions.
In addition, your power supply must be connected to the 8-pin Auxilliary power
connections (at JPW1 and JPW2).
Connecting the Control Panel
JF1 contains header pins for various front control panel connectors. See Figure
5-2 for the pin locations of the various front control panel buttons and LED indica-
tors and refer to section 5-9 for details. Note that even and odd numbered pins
are on opposite sides of each header.
