5-2 Connecting Cables
Several cables need to be connected from the chassis to the serverboard. These
include the data 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 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).
Important! Make sure the the cables do not come into contact with the fans.
Connecting Power Cables
The X10DRX has a 24-pin proprietary power supply connector (JPWR1) for
connection to the ATX power supply. In addition, there are two 8-pin secondary
power connectors (JPWR2, JPWR3) that must also be connected to your power
supply. 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 5-1
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 below for details and pin descriptions.
