Unpacking
The serverboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid electrical static dis-
charge. When unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static
protected.
5-3 Connecting Cables
Now that the serverboard is installed, the next step is to connect the cables to the
board. 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 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). The following data
cables (with their locations noted) should be connected. (See the layout on page
5-9 for connector locations.)
•
SATA drive data cables (I-SATA0 ~ I-SATA7)
•
Control Panel cable (JF1)
•
SGPIO cable (T-SGPIO1, T-SGPIO2)
Important! Make sure the the cables do not come into contact with the fans.
Connecting Power Cables
The X10DAi has a 24-pin primary power supply connector (J24) for connection to
the ATX power supply. In addition, two 8-pin secondary power connectors (JPWR1
and JPWR2) must also be connected to your power supply. See Section 5-9 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 connec-
tion. 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 Chapter 5 for details and pin descriptions.
