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:
If you are using another manufacturer’s power
supply, check their documentation for
instructions.
