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 ribbon cables used to transfer data from the peripheral devices have
been carefully routed in preconfigured systems to prevent them from block-
ing 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).
tem, keep the airflow in mind when routing the cables. The following data
cables (with their motherboard connector locations noted) should be con-
nected. See the serverboard layout figure in this chapter for connector
locations.
! Ultra320 LVD SCSI Cables (JA1)
! Control Panel Cable (JF1, see next page)
! Front Side USB Cable (JD2)

Connecting Power Cables

The X6DA8-G2 has a 24-pin primary power supply connector designated "ATX
Power" for connection to the ATX power supply. Connect the appropriate con-
nector from the power supply to the "ATX Power" connector to supply power to
the serverboard. The 12V 8-pin power connector at J1D1 and the 12V 4-pin power
connector at J32 must also both be connected to your power supply. See the
Connector Definitions section in this chapter for power connector pin definitions.
