If you get a safety cover for your EPO switch, make sure it is the right
kind of cover. Following an accidental EPO outage, we got a safety cover
that was actually a latch designed to ensure the switch stays pressed
until manually reset. We discoverd this when someone tried to demonstrate
that it was now a lot harder to accidentally press the EPO. (it wasn't)
