I have one cabinet like you describe and one with 2 x 19". Each
cabinet has a 900 mounted on the back right of the cabinet and a
power distribution board in the back middle. The power switch is
behind the cabinet, obviously, since it's attached to the 900.
However, I have both power cords going to a single power strip with
an On/Off button that is located for convenient switching. This
setup works pretty well!
