5-2 Connecting Cables

Now that the motherboard is installed, the next step is to connect the cables to
the board. 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 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 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 layout on page
5-10 for connector locations.)
•SATA drive data cables (I-SATA1 ~ I-SATA3)
•Control Panel cable (JF1)
Important! Make sure the the cables do not come into contact with the fans.

Connecting Power Cables

The X9SPV-LN4F/F-3610ME has a 24-pin primary power supply connector (JPW1)
for connection to the ATX power supply. See Section 5-8 for power connector pin
de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 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.
