Message: [QUOTE="[silent:arts], post: 460684, member: 172"] please visit [url=http://www.groupdiy.com/index.php?topic=41617.0]chungers impressive how to build it Thread[/url] too. [url=http://www.groupdiy.com/index.php?topic=37438.msg558557#msg558557]something about Pin1, 5 & 13[/url] [color=red][b]Attention 511 rack customers:[/b][/color] It should be noted that the 51x format is it's own special format. We utilize an 18 pin card edge connector instead of the 15 pin used by the VPR style racks. The extra 3 pins allow for bipolar 24V rails which bring many new and exciting possibilities to a 500 series sized module. The top 15 pins of our rack line up perfectly with a standard VPR, 500 series module. With a little care seating, any 15 pin VPR module can plug right into the 18 pin card edge connector. They will be 100% electronically compatible. It should be understood that some VPR modules with a full metal enclosure may have an issue with the lower rear of the enclosure hitting into the larger 18 pin card edge connector. This will not allow these modules to seat fully into the 511 rack. This far from the end of the world. We have a few solutions that can easily solve this problem. 1. Substitute 15 pin card edge connectors and dedicate those slots in your rack to the VPR modules with the full metal enclosure. 2. Remove the 3 sided metal enclosure and simply install your module without it. In most situations, there will be absolutely no difference in performance. This can be done with a 550, 550A or 550B EQ and the like. 3. Make a small notch in the lower rear section of the full metal enclosure allowing clearance around the larger 18 pin connector. [/QUOTE]
