Installing Modules
Adding new modules to the Patch Box is a simple process. Please follow the instructions below
to ensure that new modules are installed safely and correctly.
Experiment with system layout by resting a few modules in the case before installation.
1. Unplug the power adapter from the back of the case.
2. Flip over the case and carefully remove the bottom of the Patch Box by first unscrewing the
4 feet and 2 additional screws on the bottom of the Patch Box.
3. Insert the necessary power ribbon cables into the power headers.
4. Carefully reattach the bottom of the Patch Box. Make sure the internal ribbon cable and
black ground wire are safely inside the case before screwing the 4 feet and additional 2
screws into the bottom panel.
5. Flip the case back to right side up.
6. Install modules one at a time. First plug the module into a power ribbon cable. The red
stripe on the ribbon cable marks -12v. This stripe needs to line up with the -12v pins on the
module. Failure to match up the pins correctly can result in damage to one or all the
modules connected to the power supply.
7. Use a small tool to line up the needed sliding square nuts close to where the module will be
mounted.
8. Attach the module to the sliding nuts using the included panel screws. If installing more
than 1 module, do not tighten down the panel screws until all the modules are installed.
This will allow some room to shift the modules as needed.
9. Once all the new modules are installed, plug in the power adapter and switch on the case.
Carefully test each module to ensure it is working as expected.
