Re: [motm] Swapping Power Supplies

2005-08-26 by Richard Brewster

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.
