Mounting the Voltage Inverter

Cold cathode flourescent lights run at a much higher voltage than those typically supplied by the computer to the various peripherals. As a result, the lights require a voltage inverter to supply the proper levels to the lights. Often this will be a box that will reside somewhere inside of the case and runs between the power supply and the lights.

Mounting the inverter is fairly simple and done through double sided tape or velco. Simply remove the backing on the tape and then place the inverter in the desired location and press firmly to get good adhesion.
