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 ribbon 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 loca-
tions noted) should be connected. (See the layout on page 5-7 for connector locations.)
•
SATA drive data cables (I-SATA0~3, I-SATA4~5)
•
SATA sideband cables (T-SGPIO1 for drive bays 0~3, T-SGPIO-S for drive bays 4~7 ,
T-SGPIO2 for drive bays 8~9)
•
Control Panel cable (JF1)
•
GPU power cables (JPW3, JPW4, JPW5, JPW6, JPW7, JPW8 on serverboard, and
CN602, CN603 on PDB)
•
SATA power cable (JPW11)
Important! Make sure the the cables do not come into contact with the fans.
Connecting Power Cables
The serverboard has three proprietary power supply connectors (JPW1, JPW2 and JPW9) for
connection to the ATX 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 Chapter 5 for details and pin descriptions.
