Then the very bottom panel piece on mine has a
roughly 1" x 3/4"
rectangular hole cut in it near the right side. A white rocker switch
with ( 1 / 0) embossed on it will fit that hole though and serve as my
master on / off for the rack (via that 872-A PDU) I guess.
Most (if not all) of the "newer" BA11 chassis and/or power supplies
will already have the same 3-pin connector you're talking about.
If you have a BA11-L chassis, take a peek at the H777 power supply.
It has a power distribution board that should have a 3-pin molex connector marked
"J5".
Connecting this pin-for-pin to the 3-pin connector on your H872-A power controller
will turn on all of the switched outlets on the power controller, whenever the 11/34 is
powered up.
You can daisy-chain addiitonal power controllers, using the 2nd 3-pin connector on the
H872-A.
As for the hole on the kick-plate. . . I'm not sure what that's for -- I've
seen it before though.

Yes! I have been looking right past those all along. There are two labeled
J1 and J2 right next to where the line cord enters the chassis.
Anybody know a MOLEX P/N for the mating connector? I'm still searching...

Very nice. That's the right solution here. And so then I need to find
something else to plug the hole cut in the bottom panel of the rack...
Lipstick?

Right. There are two pairs on the 872-A... one set facing the rear and one
set facing the front.

It sure looks like the end user did this... they also cut round notches in
the top edge of the same plate to clear some kind of cabling. Fortunately,
with another chassis mounted above the plate, you don't see these additional
holes. But the 1" x 3/4" is kinda obvious and also now has some rust on the
edges where they cut it and filed to fit.
Maybe I'll make a
|d|i|g|i|t|a|l|
sticker in some image editor and stick that over the hole :-)
