Front Control Panel

The front control panel must be connected to the JF2 connector on the
motherboard to provide you with system status and alarm indications. A
ribbon cable has bundled these wires together to simplify this connection.
Connect the cable from JF2 on the motherboard (making sure the red wire
plugs into pin 1) to the appropriate comnnector on the front control panel
PCB (printed circuit board). Pull all excess cabling over to the control
panel side of the chassis. The LEDs inform you of system status - see
Figure 6-2 for details. Figure 6-3 shows the connections, jumpers and
indicators located on the front control panel PCB. See Chapter 5 for
details on JF2.
