LED lighting in PAX wardrobe from IKEA

Hello, I wonder if anyone can help me. I've built a pax wardrobe from ikea and I need to install the LED lighting. I understand and there are many videos/instructions how to attach the LED bar itself to the underneath of the shelf, no problem.

However the massive power brick thing, there are 0 instructions anywhere! Do I drill a hole in the side of the wardrobe to feed the cable in? Do I put the big power brick thing inside or outside the wardrobe, and if so where abouts? I am totally clueless and surprised none of the instructions tell you how to set it up.

Can anyone help? The power brick thing is the ANSULTA http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/products/lighting/integrated-lighting/ansluta-electronic-transformer-white-art-10320181/

Many thanks!

    That is the transformer to get from mains voltage to low voltage (12 or 24 volts) and can be fitted to suit your arrangement. It will need to be connected to the mains (probably via a plug) so it depends where your nearest accessible socket is. The lights will need to be fitted inside the wardrobe so I would suggest fitting the transformer somewhere unobtrusive inside the wardrobe but such that you can connect the lights to it with the (provided) cables and then drill a small hole in the back/side of the wardrobe to feed the cable in to the transformer.
