Installing SL512EC in a rack case
Posted: Sat Apr 16, 2005 9:34 am
Hi there!
I would like to mount my SL512EC interface in a more robust metal case - most probably a 1U rack case.
I don't see a problem with extending the USB and DMX interfaces, but I would like to extend the three LED indicators (Power, DMX and USB) as well.
I can see there is a header block inside the SL512EC which appears to have the LED outputs on it.
Has anyone out there tried this job before? I really need to know if it is OK to connect external LEDs to the header block, and if I need any external resistors to drive the LEDs.
Hope someone can help,
Cheers, Vince
