Set Up the Hardware 

Set Up AC Power Distribution 

You must install the AC power strip/surge suppressor from the kit to provide power to the 
computer, new monitor (if installed), and ventilation fan.   

The actual wiring will vary depending on which cabinet you are converting.  Use the 
instructions that follow as a general guideline for setting up AC power distribution. 

 

1.  Locate the AC power panel inside the cabinet.  The panel is usually the distributing point 

for all of the AC power lines inside the cabinet.  If the panel is on the floor of the cabinet, 
you will need to move it to one of the side walls to make enough room to secure the 
computer to the bottom of the cabinet. 

2.  Disconnect the two AC power lines and the ground wire that connect to the ON/OFF 

switch on the AC power panel, as shown by the arrows in the picture above.  

3.  Strip these three wires and connect them to the AC power cord from the kit, using the 

wire crimps provided.  (You will be plugging this power cord into the power strip.) 

 

4.  Connect the power and ground wires from AC power strip to the three connectors on the 

ON/OFF switch where you removed the wires in step 2, as shown by the arrow in the 
picture above. 

5.  Plug the AC power cord you spliced in step 3 into the AC power strip.  All cabinet AC 

power should now be routed through the power strip.
