5-3 Connecting Cables
Now that the processors are installed, the next step is to connect the
cables to the board. These include the data (ribbon) cables for the periph-
erals 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 preconfigured systems to prevent them from block-
ing 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). If you are configuring the sys-
tem, keep the airflow in mind when routing the cables. The following data
cables (with their severboard connector locations noted) should be con-
nected. See the serverboard layout figure in this chapter for connector
locations.

Connecting Power Cables
The X5DPR-iG2 has a 20-pin primary power supply connector designated
"ATX Power" for connection to the ATX power supply. Connect the
appropriate connector from the power supply to the "ATX Power"
connector to supply power to the motherboard. You must also connect
your power supply to the 8-pin secondary power connector at J15. See
the Connector Definitions section in this chapter for power connector pin
definitions.
