5-4 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.

 1020P-T/1020P-TR: Serial ATA cables (JSM1)

 1020P-8/1020P-8R: SCSI cable (JA1)

 DVD-ROM cable (JIDE#1)

 Floppy drive cable (JFDD1)

 Control panel cable (JF1, see next page)

Connecting Power Cables

The H8DSP-i/H8DSP-8 has a proprietary 20-pin primary power supply connector

designated "J43" for connection to the power supply. Connect the appropriate con-

nector from the proprietary power supply to J43 to supply power to the serverboard.

The 10-pin power connector at J15 must also be connected to your power sup-

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

deﬁ nitions.
