Step 6Open and inspect the power bar
Some power bars are easily opened by removing some screws. Others are not easily opened. They may be glued or riveted closed. When purchasing power bars, look for those than can be disassembled.
This particular power bar is easily opened by removing 7 Phillips screws from the back.
Once you have the power bar open there are a few things you want to look for:
1. Where is a good place to drill a hole through the side for your remote switch cord to enter?
2. Where is the hot wire (black) that feeds the group of outlets you would like to control?
3. Where is a good place to connect to the neutral wire (white)?
See the image below for the answers to these questions for my particular power bar.
