Unpacking
The serverboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid electrical static dis-
charge. When unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static
protected.

Connecting Cables
Several cables need to be connected to the serverboard. These 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 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 keep them routed as they were originally after reconnecting
them (make sure the red wires connect to the pin 1 locations). See the layout on
page 5-10 for connector locations.
Connecting Power Cables
The X9DRD-EF has a 24-pin primary power supply connector (JPW1) for connec-
tion to the ATX power supply. In addition, there are two 8-pin 12V processor power
connectors (JPW2 and JPW3) and a 4-pin power connector (JPW4) that must be
connected to your power supply. See Section 5-9 for power connector pin definitions.
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 indicators.
All JF1 wires have been bundled into a single cable to simplify this connection. Make
sure the red wire plugs into pin 1 as marked on the board. The other end connects
to the Control Panel PCB board, located just behind the system status LEDs on
the chassis. See Chapter 5 for details and pin descriptions.
