Figure 5-1. Front Control Panel Header Pins (JF1)

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 Defi nitions section in this chapter for details and pin descrip-

tions of JF1.
