Connecting Cables

The cables include the data 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 (be aware of the pin 1 locations). If
you are configuring the system, keep the airflow in mind when routing the cables.

Connecting Power Cables

The X10SDV-2C-7TP4F/X10SDV-4C-7TP4F/X10SDV-7TP4F has a 24-pin primary
power supply connector designated "JPW1" for connection to the ATX power sup-
ply. Connect the appropriate connector from the power supply to JPW1 to supply
power to the motherboard. See the Connector Definitions section in this chapter
for power connector pin definitions.
In addition, the JPH1 connector (to supply power for HDDs) and the JPV1 connec-
tor (to provide altrernate power when JPW1 is not being used) may need to be
connected to the power supply.

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 indica-
tors. Please note that even and odd numbered pins are on opposite sides of each
header. All JF1 wires have been bundled into single keyed ribbon cable to simplify
their connection. Connect one end of this cable to JF1 and the other end to the
Control Panel printed circuit board, located just behind the system status LEDs in
the chassis.
See the Connector Definitions section in this chapter for details and pin descrip-
tions of JF1.
