OK...I tested every module on its own, and they all tested OK (didn't blow the fuse), and I began to mount them one at a time back into the case. Everything booted properly, until the very last one, the A-140, which when I booted after plugging this in, caused another fuse to blow. So the A-140 is the culprit.

This is odd, because I have a second A-140, which does the same thing. Could it be the position in the chain or along the power rail
