contractor for installation instructions for the base. The installation
guidelines are listed here:
The recommendations dimensions of the base are provided in

wiring in the wall.

recommendations in "Choosing a Site for the Switch" on page 46
and "Recommended Minimum Reserved Wall Area" on page 59.
