5-3 Connecting

Cables

Now that the serverboards are installed, the next step is to connect the cables to

the boards. These include the data cables for the peripherals and control panel

and the power cables.

Connecting Data Cables

The cables used to transfer data from the peripheral devices have been carefully

routed 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). The following data

cables (with their locations noted) should be connected. (See the serverboard layout

for connector locations.) Note that each connection listed should be made for both

serverboards in the chassis.

SATA drive cables (SATA0 ~ SATA1)

Control Panel cable (JF1)

Connecting Power Cables

The X7DCT/X7DCT-10G has two 20-pin ATX power supply connectors for con-

nection to the ATX power supply. Only one of these from each board should be

connected to the power supply. The "Primary ATX Power Header" is used to supply

power to the primary serverboard and the "Secondary ATX Power Header" is used

to supply power to the secondary serverboard. Connect the power supply to only

one of these on both boards (primary = left, secondary = right when viewed from

front of server). See Section 5-9 for power connector pin defi nitions.
