Connecting Cables

Now that the motherboard 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 keep them routed as they were originally after reconnecting them (make
sure the red wires connect to the pin 1 locations). See the layout on page 5-9 for
connector locations.
Caution: Make sure that the cables do not come into contact with the fans.

Connecting Power Cables

The X10SRA has a 24-pin primary power supply connector (JPW1) for connection
to the ATX power supply. In addition, the 8-pin secondary power connector (JPW2)
must also be connected to your power supply. See Section 5-9 for power connec-
tor 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.
