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 reroute them 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 diagram in this

chapter for connector locations.

DVD-ROM drive cable (IDE#1)

6015B-T+: SATA cables (I-SATA1 ~ I-SATA4)

6015B-T+: SATA status monitoring cable (SGPIO1)

6015B-8+: SCSI cable (JA1)

Control Panel cable (JF1, see next page)

Connecting Power Cables

The X7DBR-i+/X7DBR-8+ has a 24-pin primary power supply connector desig-

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

connector from the power supply to the JPW1 connector to supply power to the

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

connector pin defi nitions.

In addition, your power supply must be connected to the 4-pin Secondary ATX

Power connection at JPW2 and the 8-pin processor power connector at JPW3.
