2. If you are replacing the old strain relief:
a. Slide the new strain relief into the hole in the rear panel of the power supply.
b. Secure the strain relief on the inside of the power supply using the new strain relief nut. Hand tighten the nut
and then over-tighten slightly more.

3. Route the new power cord wires through the strain relief in the rear panel.
4. Route the black, white, and red wires to the top of the power switch.
5. Insert the wire connectors into the top of the power switch and use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to tighten the set
screws to 10 in-lbs (11.5 kg cm). Refer to the figure above for the correct color assignments. “L1”, “L2”, and “L3”
are marked on the power switch above each set screw.
