I looked around the stickies, did a search for "multimeter test rails voltage" or combinations thereof and wasnt able to find anything

there should be a sticky somewhere telling people how to test their stuff with a multimeter...

I say this because i just got my first digital multimeter, and i dont know exactly how to test my rails using this...

I dont want a detailed explanation, links would suffice =)


In the meantime ill go google it or something....

An empty molex is where you can test 5v and 12v. For 5v red lead to red and black lead to black. for 12v red lead to yeallow and black lead to black.
