Figure 5-3. JF2: Front Control Panel Header Pins

Connecting the Control Panel

JF2 contains header pins for various front control panel connectors.  See

Figure 5-3 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 JF2 wires have been bundled into single ribbon cable to simplify their

connection.  Make sure the red wire plugs into pin 1 as marked on the

board.  The other end connects to the Control Panel printed circuit board,

located just behind the system status LEDs in the chassis.

See Section 5-8 for details and pin descriptions of JF2.
