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 serverboard connector
locations noted) should be connected. See the serverboard layout fi gure in this
chapter for connector locations.
Serial ATA cables (I-SATA0, I-SATA1)
CD-ROM cable (IDE1)
USB cable (USB2/3)
Control panel cable (JF1, see next page)
Connecting Power Cables
The X6DLP-EG2 has a 24-pin primary ATX power supply connector designated
"PW1" for connection to the ATX power supply. Connect the appropriate connector
from the power supply to the PW1 connector to supply power to the serverboard.
The power connector at PW2 must also be connected to your power supply. See the
Connector Defi nitions section in this chapter for power connector pin defi nitions.
