cables (with their locations noted) should be connected. (See the layout on page
5-9 for connector locations.)
•
SATA drive data cable (I-SATA0 ~ I-SATA3)
•
Control Panel cable (JF1)
Important! Make sure the the cables do not come into contact with the fans.
Connecting Power Cables
The X8SIL/X8SIL-F has a 24-pin primary power supply connector (JPW1) for con-
nection to the ATX power supply. In addition, an 8-pin processor power connector
(JPW2) must also be connected to your power supply. See Section 5-9 for power
connector pin defi nitions.
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 ribbon cable to simplify this connec-
tion. 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.
