5-3 Connecting Cables

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

motherboard. These include the data (ribbon) 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 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 motherboard connector locations noted)

should be connected.

See the motherboard layout diagram in this chapter for connector locations.

DVD-ROM Drive cable (SATA0)•

Control Panel cable (JF1, see next page)•

SATA cables (SATA1 ~ SATA5)•

SGPIO cable (T-SGPIO1 to SATA backplane)•

Connecting Power Cables

The X9SCL-F has a 24-pin primary power supply connector designated "JPW1"

for connection to the ATX power supply. Connect the appropriate connector from

the power supply to JPW1 to supply power to the motherboard. 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 8-pin Processor Power

connector at JPW2.

Connecting the Control Panel

JF1 contains header pins for various front control panel connectors. See Figure

5-1 for the pin locations of the various front control panel buttons and LED indica-

tors. Please note that even and odd numbered pins are on opposite sides of each

header.
