Connecting Cables
Once the motherboard is installed, the cables must be connected. 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 locations noted) should be connected. (See the layout on page
5-12 for connector locations.)
•
SATA drive data cables (I-SATA0 ~ 5)
•
SATA sideband cable (T-SGPIO ~ 1)
•
Control Panel cable (JF1)
•
GPU power cables (JPW3, PDB connector)
•
SATA backplane power cable (JPW5)
Important! Make sure the the cables do not come into contact with the fans.
Connecting Power Cables
The motherboard has three power supply connectors, JPW1, JPW2 and JPW3. See
Section 5-8 for power connector definitions.
Connecting the Control Panel
The JF1 connector contains header pins for the front control panel. See Figure 5-5
for the pin definitions of the 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.
