INSTALLING MODULES
1. To install a module, find necessary space in your case and confirm proper installation of included Eurorack
bus board connector cable on backside of module. It should be oriented to mate with the -12V connection on
the module as specified by the module manufacturer. MOST modules orient -12V "down" and associate the
connector cable's red stripe with -12V, but this is not a universal rule. If you are not certain of the orientation
and location of the -12V connection on the module you are connecting, contact the manufacturer of the
module. (Make Noise modules include photos of proper orientation in their respective manuals.)
2. Plug the bus board connector cable into the 4 Zone Bus Board, minding the polarity so that the RED stripe
on the cable is oriented to the NEGATIVE 12 Volt line on both the module and the bus board. On the 4 Zone
Bus Board, the negative 12 Volt line is indicated by the white stripe.
3. Once both power connections are made and checked, set the module in the case and switch the power ON.
The newly connected module should power up ( check some basic functionality of the module, such as LED
activity). Ensure that all three LEDs on the 4 Zone Bus Board are lighted. If the module or Bus Board does not
appear to be powered ON, switch power OFF and double-check connections at both ends of the Eurorack bus
board connector cable. If you have the Eurorack bus board connector cable connected correctly and the
module still does not appear to power ON or work correctly, contact the manufacturer of that module for
technical support.
Always power the case OFF before installing or uninstalling modules. When installing multiple
modules, always follow the same procedure outlined above (in steps 1-3) for each module.
4. After all modules are connected and powering up correctly, attach them to the rail using the square nuts and
the included black M2.5 screws, using a toothpick or similar small tool to slide the nuts into place under the
mounting holes of the modules. It is a good idea to distribute the nuts evenly through the rail in case the
module order needs to be reconfigured later.
