I started with DC.  APP connectors are firm in their sockets and no 
wiggling causes outages.  When I installed the front panel, I was keenly 
aware from list traffic that great care had to be taken during this 
process.  I looked at each connecting point of each connector.  I've 
also given the baby "therapeutic taps" to see if anything was loose.

If you guys don't mind...its 2317 here and I rise at 0500 to pay the 
mortgage, so I'll follow up tomorrow.
