orientation. Be aware that some modules may have
headers that serve other purposes so ensure the
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:
If you are using another manufacturer’s power
supply, check their documentation for instructions.
Once connected, the cabling between the module
and power supply should resemble the picture below:
Before reconnecting power and
turning on your modular system,
double check that the ribbon
cable is fully seated on both ends
and that all the pins are correctly
aligned. If the pins are misaligned
in any direction or the ribbon is
backwards you can cause
damage to your module, power
supply, or other modules.
After you have confirmed all the
connections, you can reconnect
the power cable and turn on your
modular system. You should
immediately check that all your modules have powered on and are functioning correctly. If you
notice any anomalies, turn your system off right away and check your cabling again for mistakes.
