Connecting Cables
Now that the processors are installed, the next step is to connect the cables to the
serverboard. 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 in preconfigured systems 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 reroute them as they were originally after
reconnecting them and be aware of the pin 1 locations. If you are configuring the
system, keep the airflow in mind when routing the cables.
The following data cables (with their connector locations noted) should be connected.
See the serverboard layout diagram in this chapter for connector locations.
•
Control Panel cable, connected to the backplane
•
SATA cables (I-SATA0 ~ I-SATA5 and/or S-SATA0 ~ S-SATA3)
Connecting Power Cables
The X10DBT-T has a 4-pin primary power supply connector designated "JPW1"
for connection to the power supply. Connect the appropriate connector from the
power supply to JPW1 to supply power to the serverboard. See the Connector
Definitions section in this chapter for power connector pin definitions.
