MOTM

Hi,

First, make sure you mount the 990 board securely to your rack/cabinet/case.
If your case is wood and thick enough, you might be able to use wood screws
but otherwise use nuts and bolts and lock washers etc. Make sure to use 1/2"
or longer standoffs/spacers (they are little plastic or metal tubes that
look like straight macaroni), don't just bolt/screw the 990 flat against
your rack surface!

Then, probably the easiest way to connect the 990 adapter board to the 950
board is to use a MOTM 6 pin power cable. Cut one in half (or to whatever
length allows a comfortable reach) and strip a 1/4" or so of the insulation
off. Attach the stripped ends to the 990's screw terminals and then just
plug the other end into your 950.

If you can look at Muff's forum I have some pictures in this thread of a DIY
power supply I build using a MOTM-990 as the main distro board. Not the same
thing you are doing but maybe it will give you some ideas! :-)
