Building Powerone PSU in cabinet?

2004-01-14 by Robert van der Kamp

Hi,

I just finished my first cabinet (a wooden 19" case, 16 HE 
high, 10 inch deep), and would like to install the PowerOne 
PSU's from my 900 and 950 kits directly in the cabinet.

Any suggestions/tips? For example, is heat a problem when 
mounting the PSU directly on the wood? Or should I use 
spacers? 

My plan is to mount a power strip in the cabinet, place both 
PSUs in the cabinet, and connect both of them with the 
power strip using standard power cables. I'll also power my 
little MCV from that strip.

Then one cable is leaving the cabinet (the one from the 
strip) and this will be connected with another strip which 
has a switch, so that I can switch on/off the whole modular 
in one go. A future second cabinet will end up in that same 
switched power strip.

Good? Bad?

- Robert
