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 definitions.

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.
