5-3 Connecting Cables

Now that the serverboard is installed, the next step is to connect the cables to the

board. 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 care-

fully 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 layout on page

5-9 for connector locations.)

SATA drive data cable (SATA1 ~ 3)

•

SGPIO cable (T-SGPIO-0)•

Control Panel cable (JF1)•

GPU power cables (JPW2, JPW3 - 6016GT series only)•

Important! Make sure the the cables do not come into contact with the fans.

Connecting Power Cables

The X8DTG-DF has a 20-pin proprietary power supply connector (JPW1) for con-

nection to the ATX power supply. In addition, there are two 8-pin secondary power

connectors (JPW2, JPW3) that also must be connected to your power supply. See

Section 5-9 for power connector pin deﬁ nitions.

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 indicators.

All JF1 wires have been bundled into a single ribbon cable to simplify this connec-

tion. Make sure the red wire plugs into pin 1 as marked on the board. The other

end connects to the Control Panel PCB board, located just behind the system status

LEDs on the chassis. See Chapter 5 for details and pin descriptions.
