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 connector locations noted) should be connected.
See the serverboard layout diagram in this chapter for connector locations.
•
One (1) front panel cable (JF1, see next page)
•
One (1) n control panel converter cable
•
Four (4) 75-cm IPASS-to-IPASS AOC connection cables (for

Connecting Power Cables

The X9DRW-iF has a 24-pin primary power supply connector designated "JPW1"
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 the two 8-pin and one 4-pin
Processor Power connectors at JPW3/3 and JPW4.

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.
Even and odd numbered pins are on opposite sides of each header.
All JF1 wires have been bundled into single keyed ribbon cable to simplify their
connection. The red wire in the ribbon cable plugs into pin 1 of JF1. Connect the
other end of the cable to the Control Panel printed circuit board, located just behind
the system status LEDs in the chassis.
See the Connector Defi nitions section in this chapter for details and pin descriptions
of JF1.
