VX-351/352 and CP-251 Rack Kit

Moog VX-351/352 Rack Kit enables you to mount either one or two VX-351/VX-352 Voyager CV Expanders or CP-251 Control Processors in a standard 19" equipment rack, occupying three rack spaces. The kit includes all necessary hardware, making the assembly process straightforward. It features a center block that ensures a secure connection between the modules, and a daisy chain power harness that eliminates the need for separate power connections for each module. The rack mount frame provides stability and protection for your valuable gear.

VX-351/VX-352/CP-251 RACK MOUNT KIT

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

This rack mount kit can be used with both the VX-351(2)

Voyager™ CV Expander and the Moogerfooger® CP-251

Control Processor. It takes up 3 rack spaces in a standard 19”

equipment rack.

Possible assembly conﬁgurations include:

| 1 or 2 VX-351(2)s

| 1 VX-351(2) + 1 CP-251

| 1 or 2 CP-251s

THESE INSTRUCTIONS WILL COVER THE

INSTALLATION OF 1 VX-351/VX-352 + 1 CP-251.

To complete the assembly, you will need the following tools:

| #1 Phillips screwdriver (medium small)

| A small pair of utility pliers or a 1/4” spinite wrench

You should also have a clean workspace where you can perform the

assembly without scratching the chassis of the VX-351 or the CP-251

GET STARTED

Identify the hardware components that come

with this rack mount kit. You should have the

following items:

a) 2 - ½” nylon hole plugs

b) 4 - #10 ﬁnishing washers

c) 4 - 10-32 x ½” oval head machine screws

d) 8 - 4-40 x ¼” oval head machine screws

e) 8 - 4-40 kep nuts

f) 1 - Center Block

g) 1 - daisy chain power harness

h) 1 - rack mount frame

STEP 1:

Remove the back panel from the VX-351(2). Set

aside the rubber feet with their mounting screws.

STEP 2:

Carefully remove the back panel from the CP-251.

The power connector on the CP-251’s back panel is

plugged into the Circuit board inside. Unplug the

+9V power connector from the CP-251 circuit

board. Set the rubber feet and their mounting

screws aside.

STEP 3:

Carefully remove all four wood end caps and save

the wood screws. Be careful as you remove the

screw not to strip the heads of the screws.

e) f)

g) h)

STEP 4:

Identify the 4-40 x ¼” Oval Head Phillips Machine

Screws (item 4 on the BOM) and the 4-40

KEP-NUTs (item 5 on the BOM). Put the screws in

the left end of the VX-351(2) and the right end of

the CP-251. Put the nuts on the screws. Hold the

nuts with the pliers (or spintite) and tighten the

screws carefully and gently. (The screws don’t hold

anything. They’re installed just to ﬁll up the holes.)

STEP 5:

Set the Center Block in the left end of the CP-251,

oriented so the ridge on the block faces the same

direction as the CP-251’s knobs face. Note that

pilot holes are drilled in the Center Block. These

holes should line up with the CP-251 holes.

STEP 6:

Find four of the #4 wood screws that you took out

when you removed the CP-251’s end caps. Use the

#1 Phillips screwdriver to start the screws in the

pilot holes. DO NOT TIGHTEN THE SCREWS YET.

STEP 7:

Now look in at the right end of the VX-351(2).

You’ll see two pins sticking out at you from the top

of the circuit board. These pins engage the

VX-351(2) Daisy Chain Power Harness. Position the

VX-351(2) so the panel is up. Position one of the

Daisy Chain Power Harness connectors so its

locking ramp faces up and the orange wire is to

the right. Carefully push the connector onto the

pins until the connector’s locking ramp engages

the mating tab on the VX-351(2) board. When

you’re done with this, inspect it carefully to make

sure that it is installed properly.

4-40 Oval Head

Machine Screw

STEP 8:

In a manner similar to Step 6 above, fasten the

other side of the Center Block into the right end of

the VX-351(2). Don’t tighten these screws yet.

STEP 9:

Plug the free end of the Daisy Chain Power

Harness into the two pins labeled CN1 on the

CP-251 circuit board, so that the locking ramp on

the harness connector engages the mating tab on

CN1, and the orange wire faces toward the

newly-installed center block. Again, check what

you’ve just done to ensure that the connector is

installed on both pins. Once that’s done, tuck the

harness carefully into the space inside the CP-251

so that the harness’ slack is out of the way.

STEP 10:

Carefully turn the VX-351(2)/CP-251 module assem-

bly over and set it down on your work surface. Place

the rack frame over it. Line up the mounting holes in

the rack frame with the spring steel ‘speed nuts’ on

the module enclosures. Find the rubber feet with

the mounting screws in them. Leave the feet on the

screws. One at a time, feed the mounting screws

through the holes in the rack and into the speed

nuts. Use your #1 Phillips screwdriver to advance

the screws. Tighten all the screws very lightly.

STEP 11:

Carefully line up the modules so their sides are

even with the edges of the rack frame. Then

tighten all the screws holding the Center Block.

Do not overtighten.

STEP 12:

Tighten the eight screws that are holding the

rubber feet. Do not overtighten.

STEP 13:

Install the ½” hole plugs in the back of the rack

mount frame.

[STEP 9]

[STEP 10]

[STEP 13]

Note:

If you are installing 1 or 2 CP-251s in this rack mount

kit – the power connectors on the CP-251’s back

panel should be removed and installed in the back

of the rack mount frame in place of the 1/2” hole

plugs. The power connectors should be plugged

back into the CP-251’s CN1 before attaching the

CP-251s to the Rack Mount Frame (Step 10).

Your rack mount kit is now ready to be installed

into a 19” equipment rack. Use the 10-32 oval

head machine screws and the nylon trim washers

to install the rack mount kit in the rack.

And Voila!
