2014 NEC Question #2 if you dare to care

701.12 (E)

(E) Connection Ahead of Service Disconnecting Means. Where acceptable to the authority having
jurisdiction, connections located ahead of and not within the same cabinet, enclosure, vertical switchgear section, or vertical switchboard section as the service disconnecting means shall be permitted. The legally required standby service shall be sufficiently separated from the normal main service disconnecting means to minimize simultaneous interruption of supply through an occurrence within the building or groups of buildings served.
