How do I discharge the capacitors in my PS audio P20 ?

I need to reconnect a wire inside my P20 regenerator but before I do I want to make sure the capacitors have all discharged. With a Multi Meter how is this done?

Thanks, Mike

Unplug from the wall, turn power switch back on. This should drain any residual charge left on any power supply caps. No. That will recharge the capacitors.

You don't use a multimeter for that, other than perhaps to test the caps for voltage afterwards to confirm discharge.
