5-3 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 cables used to transfer data from the peripheral devices have been carefully
routed in preconfigured systems 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 reroute them as they were originally
after reconnecting them (make sure the red wires connect to the pin 1 locations). If
you are configuring the system, keep the airflow in mind when routing the cables.
See the serverboard layout diagram in this chapter for connector locations.
Connecting Power Cables
The X10DRL-CT has a 24-pin primary power supply connector designated "J24"
for connection to the ATX power supply. Connect the appropriate connector from
the power supply to JPW1 to supply power to the serverboard. See the Connector
Definitions section in this chapter for power connector pin definitions.
In addition, your power supply must be connected to the 8-pin Processor Power
connectors at JPWR1 and JPWR2.
Connecting the Control Panel
JF1 contains header pins for various front control panel connectors. See Figure 5-1
for the pin locations of the various front control panel buttons and LED indicators.
Please note that even and odd numbered pins are on opposite sides of each header.
All JF1 wires have been bundled into single keyed ribbon cable to simplify their con-
nection. Connect one end of this cable to JF1 and the other end to the Control Panel
printed circuit board, located just behind the system status LEDs in the chassis.
See the Connector Definitions section in this chapter for details and pin descrip -
tions of JF1.
