Connecting Cables

Now that the processors are installed, the next step is to connect the cables to
the motherboard. 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 preconfi gured systems to prevent them from blocking the fl ow
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 (make sure the red wires connect to the
pin 1 locations). If you are confi guring the system, keep the airfl ow in mind when
routing the cables. The following data cables (with their motherboard connector
locations noted) should be connected. See the motherboard layout diagram in
this chapter for connector locations.
CD-ROM cable (IDE#1)
Floppy Drive cable (Floppy)
SATA cable (SATA0, SATA1)
Control Panel cable (JF1, see next page)

Connecting Power Cables

The H8SSL-i has a 24-pin primary power supply connector "PW1" for connection to
the ATX power supply. Connect the appropriate connector from the power supply
to the "ATX Power" connector to supply power to the motherboard. See the Con-
nector Defi nitions section in this chapter for power connector pin defi nitions.
In addition, your power supply must be connected to the Secondary ATX Power
connection at PW2.
