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 labeled 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 labeled 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 to the
right:
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.
