These includethe data (ribbon) cables for the peripherals and control panel and the power cables.Connecting Data CablesThe cables used to transfer data from the peripheral devices have been carefully routed to prevent themfrom blocking the flow of cooling air that moves through the system from front to back. If you need todisconnect any of these cables, you should take care to keep them routed as they were originally afterreconnecting 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 motherboard layout for connector locations.)o Control Panel cable (JF1)o COM Port cable (COM2)o Front USB port cable (USB2/3)o SAS drive data cables (SAS0 ~ SAS3)Important! Make sure the the cables do not come into contact with the fans.Connecting Power CablesThe embedded board has a 24-pin primary power supply connector (JPW1) for connection to the ATXpower supply. In addition, there is an 8-pin processor power connector (JPW2) that must be connected toyour power supply. See Section 5-9 for power connector pin definitions.Connecting the Control PanelJF1 contains header pins for various front control panel connectors. See Figure 5-1 for the pin locationsof the various front control panel buttons and LED indicators.All JF1 wires have been bundled into a single cable to simplify this connection. Make sure the red wireplugs into pin 1 as marked on the board. The other end connects to the Control Panel PCB board, lo-cated just behind the system status LEDs on the chassis. See Chapter 5 for details and pin descriptions.
