Installing Your Modules
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.
IMPORTANT: The MIDI 1U Module has two different 10-pin connectors on its circuit
board. One is for
connecting to power,
and the other is for
connecting to the
MIDI/USB jacks on
your case or MIDI IN
Jacks 1U module. Be
sure, when connecting
power, that you
connect it to the one
labelled POWER, as
indicated in the
illustration to the
right.
Connecting Power to the MIDI 1U
To power the MIDI 1U module, use the included 10-pin to 16-pin cable. Plug the 10-pin end into the
10-pin connector labelled “POWER” on the MIDI 1U (as shown above).
DO NOT plug it into the
other 10-pin connector.
The connector is shrouded, and can only be inserted in one direction
(ensuring proper orientation if you use the supplied Intellijel power cable). If you’re using a different
power cable, make sure the red stripe (negative) is closest to the thick white line printed on the
circuit board along one edge of the POWER connector.
Plug the other end of the cable (the end with the 16-pin
connector) into 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 “-12V” and a thick white stripe. Sometimes
the connectors are shrouded, ensuring the cable can be
oriented in only one direction. If you are using another
manufacturer’s power supply, check their documentation for
instructions.
Before reconnecting power and turning on your modular
system, double check that the ribbon cable is fully seated on
