The PDP-11/70 Maintenance and Installation Manual (EK-11070-MM-002) explains that the basic PDP-11/70 system components are located in a double cabinet as shown in Figure 1-1 of that manual.

> Hi,

> I've got an 11/40 I'm going to start working on.  Problem is that there are
> two power supplies (H742 and H7420) that came with it but neither was
> mounted in the rack.
> 
> Could someone post/send/etc. photos of how the power supply mounts in the
> rack?  Also how is the power cabling routed (I think I'm missing this part)?
