Chapter 5: Advanced Serverboard Setup

5-3 Connecting Cables

Now that the serverboards are installed, the next step is to connect the cables to the boards. 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). The following data cables (with their locations noted) should be connected. (See the serverboard layout for connector locations.) Note that each connection listed should be made for both serverboards in the chassis.

SATA drive cables (SATA0 ~ SATA1)

Control Panel cable (JF1)

Connecting Power Cables

The X7DCT/X7DCT-10G has two 20-pin ATX power supply connectors for con- nection to the ATX power supply. Only one of these from each board should be connected to the power supply. The "Primary ATX Power Header" is used to supply power to the primary serverboard and the "Secondary ATX Power Header" is used to supply power to the secondary serverboard. Connect the power supply to only one of these on both boards (primary = left, secondary = right when viewed from front of server). See Section 5-9 for power connector pin deﬁnitions.
