headers that serve other purposes so ensure the 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.
Once connected, the cabling between the module and power supply should resemble the picture
below:
Before reconnecting power and
turning on your modular system,
double check that the ribbon cable
is fully seated on both ends and
that all the pins are correctly
aligned. If the pins are misaligned
in any direction or the ribbon is
backwards you can cause damage
to your module, power supply, or
other modules.
After you have confirmed all the
connections, you can reconnect the
power cable and turn on your
modular system. You should
immediately check that all your modules have powered on and are functioning correctly. If you
notice any anomalies, turn your system off right away and check your cabling again for mistakes.
