5-2 Connecting Cables
Assuming the X10DRG-H(T) serverboard is installed, the next step is to connect
the cables to the board. 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 to prevent them from blocking the flow of cooling air that moves
through the system from front to back. If you need to disconnect any of these cables,
you should take care to keep them routed as they were originally after reconnecting
them (make sure the red wires connect to the pin 1 locations). The following data
cables (with their locations noted) should be connected. (See the layout in section
5-7 for connector locations.)
•
SATA drive data cables (S-SATA0 ~ 3)
•
SATA sideband cable (S-SGPIO ~ 1)
•
Control Panel cable (JF1)
•
GPU power cables (JPW3, JPW7 and JPW11)
•
SATA backplane power cable (JPW3)
Important! Make sure the the cables do not come into contact with the fans.
Connecting Power Cables
The serverboard has one proprietary main power (JPW1) and six 8-pin 12V power
connectors (JPW2-JPW7). One 8-pin connector is used to supply power to the
serverboard, and the other five 8-pin connectors are used for HDD backplane and
GPU expansion cards. See Section 5-8 for power connector pin definitions.
Connecting the Control Panel
JF1 contains header pins for various front control panel connectors. See Figure 5-4
for the pin locations of the various front control panel buttons and LED indicators.
All JF1 wires have been bundled into a single ribbon cable to simplify this
connection. Make sure the red wire plugs into pin 1 as marked on the board. The
other end connects to the Control Panel PCB board, located just behind the system
status LEDs on the chassis. See Section 5-8 for details and pin descriptions.
