The two pieces are held together by a blank 19 inch rack panel. Eight connectors attach to a terminal strip on the left end. The other end of those eight wires end with round crimp on lugs. Out of the right side of the supper section there is a three conductor cable next to a terminal strip. The other end of that cable goes into a junction box. On the left side of the bottom unit Three are two pairs of heavy wire, one red and one black, which end in crimp on lugs at the other end. Out of the terminal strip on the bottom section there is a heavy three conductor cable that goes into the junction box mentioned above. There is also a twisted pair of red and white wires also terminating in two crimp on lugs. It connects to the lower section via a Molex connector. The junction box also has a heavy power input cable with three conductors, in addition to a pair of black and white wires. Another black wire extends to a small power supply output, which provides 5 volts and 3 amps. The ground conductor of the power cord is cut off.
