Similarly, do not use open frames or any other enclosure that exposes the backside of any
module or the power distribution board.
You can use a tool like ModularGrid to assist in your planning. Failure to adequately power your
modules may result in damage to your modules or power supply. If you are unsure, please
contact us before proceeding.
Installing Your Module
When installing or removing a module from your case
always turn off the power to the case and disconnect
the power cable. Failure to do so may result in serious
injury or equipment damage.
Ensure the 10-pin connector on the power cable is
connected correctly to the module before proceeding.
The red stripe on the cable must line up with the -12V
pins on the module’s power connector. Different
modules use different ways to indicate the -12V pins.
Some may be labelled with “-12V;” a white stripe next
to the -12V pins; the words “red stripe;” or some
combination of these. Additionally, some modules may
have shrouded headers, thus preventing backward
connections.
Most modules will come with the cable already
connected but it is good to double check the
orientation. Be aware that some modules may
have headers that serve other purposes so ensure
the power cable is connected to the right one.
The other end of the cable, with a 16-pin
connector, connects to the power bus board of
your Eurorack case. Ensure the red stripe on the
cable lines up with the -12V pins on the bus board.
On Intellijel power supplies the pins are labelled
with the label “-12V” and a thick white stripe:
If you are using another manufacturer’s power
supply, check their documentation for instructions.
