Subject: Re: [motm] Swapping Power Supplies

From: Richard Brewster <pugix@...>

Depending on your cabinet, you may be able to mount the larger supply
near to the MOTM-900 panel. You may be able to reuse the original AC
wiring from the panel to the new supply. And you can move the
12-connector distribution board from the MOTM0-900 panel and locate it
in a more convenient spot. I use dot com cabinets and mount the MOTM
power supply panels on the back with the supply chassis fastened down to
the wood just in front of the panel. I mount it length-wise to make
more clearance for modules in front of it.
