placing the power supply inside the tamper-sensing barrier is that it simplifies the power wiring between the outside of
the IHSM cage and the payload. Supplying the \qty{12}{\volt} power rails that commodity mainboard commonly use requires

easily be passed through the mesh cage, but such wiring requires a large opening at the shaft on one end of the cage,
which creates a literal security gap. Placing the power supply inside of the cage reduces the size of the wires needed
since the power supply steps down a lower current \qty{240}{\volt} input to the system's high-current \qty{12}{\volt}
