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. Sometimes the connectors
are shrouded, ensuring the cable can only be
oriented in one direction.
If you are using another manufacturer’s power
supply, check their documentation for instructions.
