Abstract:
1. An apparatus comprising: a power supply unit comprising a top surface, a bottom surface, a first pair of opposing side surfaces, and a second pair of opposing side surfaces, the first and second pair of opposing side surfaces disposed between the top surface and the bottom surface; a high voltage power cord releasably coupled to a first side surface of the first pair of opposing side surfaces; a low voltage power cord coupled to a second side surface of the first pair of opposing side surfaces; a first pair of substantially planar extensions configured to be coupled to a first side surface of the second pair of opposing side surfaces of the power supply unit such that when coupled to the first side surface of the second pair of opposing side surfaces of the power supply unit, the first pair of extensions extend outwardly from the power supply unit and transverse to the first side surface of the first pair of opposing side surfaces of the power supply unit; and a second pair of substantially planar extensions configured to be coupled to a second side surface of the second pair of opposing side surfaces of the power supply unit such that when coupled to the second side surface of the second pair of opposing side surfaces of the power supply unit, the second pair of extensions extend outwardly from the power supply unit and transverse to the second side surface of the first pair of opposing side surfaces of the power supply unit, the first pair and the second pair of extensions cooperating with the first side surface and the second side surface, respectively, to form open channels between the first and second pair of extensions and the first and second side surfaces, respectively, such that the high voltage power cord and the low voltage power cord can be wrapped around the power supply unit and held in place against the first and second side surfaces and between the first and second pair of extensions within the open channels, wherein one extension of the first pair of extensions and one extension of the second pair of extensions defines a notch in an end of the extension that is configured to receive and retain a part of a flexible portion of one of the high voltage power cord and the low voltage power cord, wherein the first and second pair of extensions have widths that are substantially the same as widths of the second pair of opposing side surfaces of the power supply unit and wherein no portion of the open channels is formed by the second pair of opposing side surfaces of the power supply unit.
