Connecting and Disconnecting LED and Switch Cables
Switch and LED cables are stranded cables that are attached to the computer and connect to
the system. These cables use normal pin connectors (not keyed) that are labeled with the
name of the switch or LED that the cable connects to. For instance, the connector on the
cable coming from the reset switch is labeled Reset SW while the connector on the cable
coming from the hard drive is labeled H.D.D. LED. See Figure 4-5.
Switch and LED cables connect to sockets on the system board. These sockets are labeled
with the name of the switch or LED that the corresponding cable connects to. For instance,
the socket intended for the Reset SW cable is labeled RST.
Connecting and Disconnecting Cable Connectors
The Equium™ uses two types of cable connectors: normal pin connectors and latch
connectors. To connect and disconnect these connectors, perform the following general
instructions and see Figure 4-6.
Disconnect normal pin connectors by grasping the connector and carefully pulling
the connector from its socket.
Connect normal pin connectors by aligning the holes on the cable's connector
with the pins on the corresponding socket, then pushing the connector into the
socket.
Disconnect latch connectors by pressing the latch on the connector and carefully
pulling the connector from its socket.
Connect latch connectors by aligning the holes on the cable's connector with the
pins on the corresponding socket, then pushing the connector into the socket until
the latch catches.
Gently pull on cable connectors to make sure they are secure.
