Mount the front panel assembly on the KPA500 as shown in Figure 60. If the wide ribbon cable is longer
than necessary loop it back and forth behind the front panel board in the space directly in front of the power
transformer as shown in Figure 61. The front panel fits between the side panels. If the fit is too tight, loosen
some of the screws near the front on the side panels, particularly on left side panel since it is less rigidly held in
place. Be sure to tighten all the screws after the assembly is in place.
CAUTION
The weight of the transformer can make the unit unstable if placed on its right side. Ensure
you have a good grip when handling the KPA500 and either stand it on the left side (with the
feet) or place it upside down to access the bottom screws.
