RE: How do I power up Model 500 correctly?

[Art Baker <Art_Baker@xxxxxxxx>]

David,
        The door does swing down, hinges are on the bottom, and the door
does stick out a little if left open. Might want to position the machine so
no one knocks the door off walking by.

As Pat said:
You really need to get a copy of manual for common operations...
or get on the web and goto online books and find the manual 
As/400 Basic Operations & Administration which has diagrams for all
control panels including the model 500....

There are Never any stupid questions....
