Core Switch Grounding Wire

In all situations, grounding practices must comply with Section 250 of the National Electric Code (NEC) requirements or local laws and regulations. Construct and attach a system ground wire from the building (earth) ground to the system ground point on the chassis. If ordered separately, install the power supplies. If you installed the switch chassis into a bonded rack (see the rack manufacturer's instructions for more information) that now has a connection to the data center earth ground, you can. A grounding switch is a protective device used in power systems to safely ground electrical circuits and equipment.
