switch.
When selecting an installation site, observe these guidelines:
Cabling is away from sources of electrical noise, such as radios, power lines,
•
and fluorescent lighting fixtures.
Clearance to the switch front and rear panels is such that

Front-panel LEDs can be easily read.

Access to ports is sufficient for unrestricted cabling.
–
AC power cord can reach from the AC power outlet to the connector on
