INSTALLATION
Intellijel Eurorack modules are designed to be used with a Eurorack-compatible case and power
supply. We recommend you use Intellijel cases and power supplies.
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, 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.
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. The pins
are indicated with the label -12V, a white stripe next
to the connector, the words “red stripe”, or some
combination of those indicators.
Most modules will come with the cable already
connected but it is good to double check the
