Chapter 2: Installation
2.1 Wiring Requirements
The following common safety precautions should be observed before installing
any electronic device:

Strive to use separate, non-intersecting paths to route power and
networking wires. If power wiring and device wiring paths must cross
make sure the wires are perpendicular at the intersection point.

Keep the wires separated according to interface. The rule of thumb is
that wiring that shares similar electrical characteristics may be bundled
together.

Do not bundle input wiring with output wiring. Keep them separate.

When necessary, it is strongly advised that you label wiring to all devices
in the system.
CAUTION

Do not run signal or communication wiring and power wiring in the same
conduit. To avoid interference, wires with different signal characteristics
(i.e., different interfaces) should be routed separately.

Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring your
device.

Verify the maximum possible current for each wire gauge, especially for
the power cords. Observe all electrical codes dictating the maximum
current allowable for each wire gauge.

If the current goes above the maximum ratings, the wiring could
overheat, causing serious damage to your equipment.

Be careful when handling the unit. When the unit is plugged in, the
internal components generate a lot of heat which may leave the outer
casing too hot to touch.
