| | Distribution Board | Explanation:
It is just one box. A distribution board by definition is simply a box full of switches, they just used a non-standard way to say it.
P.S. It is not usually called a box

Maybe I should clarify. Box is the word usually used in domestic situations. In your house you will have a distribution box which sends different wires out to different rooms in the house.
In commercial situations, with larger premises and more cables, a box is usually too small and they use a 'board'. Hence I said it is not usually called a box
