The Cisco 8501 does not rely on chassis ground for safety. The Cisco 8501 switch installed in the ORv3N
rack with the provided rack mount kit does not require direct chassis grounding via the chassis ground lug.
Instead, the ORv3N rack can be properly grounded, which will adequately ground the switch as well.
Note
