Steppy 3U Manual
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 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.
