A stable power source must be provided to all devices in your system. As a
precaution, spread the load evenly and don't overload any one circuit
breaker. Avoid power lines that are subject to noise and voltage spikes.
To connect Chassis power, connect AC power to the AC In connector on the
Lightning rear chassis panel.
To connect ShotBox power:
