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 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 serverboard connector locations noted) should
be connected. See the serverboard layout diagram in this chapter for connector
locations.
•
Floppy Drive cable (JFDD1)
•
DVD-ROM Drive cable (IDE#1)
•
Control Panel cable (JF1, see next page)
•
SATA cables (SATA0 ~ SATA2)

Connecting Power Cables

The H8QMi-2+ has a 24-pin primary power supply connector designated "J1B1"
for connection to the ATX power supply. Connect the appropriate connector from
the power supply to JPW1 to supply power to the serverboard. See the Connector
Defi nitions section in this chapter for power connector pin defi nitions.
In addition, your power supply must be connected to both 8-pin Processor Power
connections at JPW1 and JPW2.
