Re: Help with power supply upgrade.

2007-04-11 by djbrow54

If it were me, I'd run a supply in each cabinet.  Some redundancy, 
especially when touring.  Half the load on each, less noise coupling. 
Higher reliability since there aren't external cables and connectors.

I slave the AC mains from a single power switch. I run a power supply 
in each of my 5 cabinets with the max at 24U or about 16 modules.  My 
10U of digital modules are in their own cabinet with a dedicated power 
supply.  Just my opinion.  Can't have enough power supplies.
