5-3 Connecting Cables
Now that the processors and heatsinks are installed, the next step is to
connect the cables to the board. 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 motherboard layout figure in this chapter for connector
locations.
l
IDE Device Cables (J18 and J19)
l
Floppy Drive Cable (JP12)
l
Ultra 160 LVD SCSI Cables (JA1, JA2 and JA5)
l
Control Panel Cable (JF1, see next page)
Connecting Power Cables
The P4DLR+ has a 24-pin primary power supply connector designated
"ATX Power" for connection to the ATX power supply. Connect the
appropriate connector from the power supply to the "ATX Power"
connector to supply power to the motherboard. A 12V, 8-pin secondary
power connector designated PWR_SEC must also be connected to your
power supply. See the Connector Definitions section in this chapter for
power connector pin definitions.
