    For convenience, of course, put the power through
    an externally operable switch.  Arrange it so you can't
    bump it accidentally and where you'd have to stop and
    think before flipping it - maybe a rocker switch with
    guards on either side of the rocker.  Leave the data
    connector permanently in place to avoid it getting loose
    with wear and to avoid putting the signals through
    another interface.
