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 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 keep them routed 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 motherboard connector

locations noted) should be connected. See the serverboard layout fi gure in this

chapter for connector locations.

Serial ATA cables (MSATA0-1)

CD-ROM cable (JIDE2)

Floppy drive cable (JFDD1)

Control panel cable (JF1, see next page)

COM port cable (COM1)

Connecting Power Cables

The X6DHP-TG has a 24-pin primary ATX power supply connector designated

"JPW1" for connection to the ATX power supply. Connect the appropriate connector

from the power supply to the JPWR1 connector to supply power to the serverboard.

The 12V 8-pin power connector at JPWR2 must also be connected to your power

supply. See the Connector Defi nitions section in this chapter for power connector

pin defi nitions.
