Re: Cabinet Power - How To Do It?

2002-08-30 by mmarsh100

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!
