5-3 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 ribbon cables used to transfer data from the peripheral devices have been carefully routed in preconfigured systems to prevent them from block- ing 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). If you are configuring the sys- tem, keep the airflow in mind when routing the cables. The following data cables (with their motherboard connector locations noted) should be con- nected. See the serverboard layout figure in this chapter for connector locations.

zUltra320 SCSI cable (JA1)

zDVD-ROM cable (JIDE2)

zFloppy drive cable (JFDD1)

zControl panel cable (JF1, see next page)

zCOM port cable (COM1)

Connecting Power Cables

The X6DHP-8G/X6DHP-8G2 has a 24-pin primary ATX power supply con- nector designated "JPW1" for connection to the ATX power supply. Con- nect the appropriate connector from the power supply to the JPW1 connec- tor to supply power to the serverboard. The 12V 8-pin power connector at JPW2 must also be connected to your power supply. See the Connector Definitions section in this chapter for power connector pin definitions.
