TROUBLESHOOTING 

 

Always use caution when handling the TRAX. Make sure to discharge yourself of any static electricity before 
touching the unit. When installing and removing the module from your system, hold the unit at the edge of the 
front panel to avoid your fingers from coming in contact with the circuitry. Keep your original packaging in 
case you ever need to ship your product. This unit should always be placed in an anti-static bag during 
shipping.  
 
Pay very close attention when installing the TRAX into your system, so that the red-strip of the power ribbon 
cable is aligned with the -12v on both the TRAX and your system’s power distribution connector. 
 
When removing modules from your system, it is a good idea to inspect the connectors of the power bus cable 
to confirm the connector has not been abused to the point it is pulling apart.  
 
Make sure you know how much current your system can provide for each voltage level, and how much 
current the modules in your system are drawing from the power supply. If your system is unable to provide 
enough current for each module in your system, obviously something is not going to work as expected or 
perhaps at all. 
 
If your unit ever behaves in an unexpected way, turn the unit off, and then back on again.
