INSTALLATION
The MIDI 1U system is designed specifically for use within an Intellijel-standard 1U row, such as
contained within the Intellijel 4U, 7U, and Palette cases. Intellijel’s 1U specification is derived from
the Eurorack mechanical specification set by Doepfer that is designed to support the use of lipped
rails within industry standard rack heights.
Power requirements for 1U conformorm to the Eurorack standard.
Before You Start
Before installing a new module in your case, you must ensure your power supply has a free power
header and sufficient available capacity to power the module:
● Sum up the specified +12V current draw for all modules, including the new one. Do the same for
the -12 V and +5V current draw. The current draw will be specified in the manufacturer's
technical specifications for each module.
● Compare each of the sums to specifications for your case’s power supply.
● Only proceed with installation if none of the values exceeds the power supply’s specifications.
Otherwise you must remove modules to free up capacity or upgrade your power supply.
You will also need to ensure your case has enough free space (hp) to fit the new module. To
prevent screws or other debris from falling into the case and shorting any electrical contacts, do not
leave gaps between adjacent modules, and cover all unused areas with blank panels. Similarly, do
not use open frames or any other enclosure that exposes the backside of any module or the power
distribution board.
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
before proceeding.
