[Elecraft] KPA500 Power Supply Environmental/Ergonomic Issue

[John Marvin]

I know this thread is supposed to be closed now, and hopefully this 
would be obvious, but you should also wait for the fans to stop before 
"pulling the plug". You should always turn the KPA500 off with the 
switch (or the KPA utility) first, wait for the fans to stop, then you 
can use the back switch or a power cord switch.
