ARNING!
Correctly connecting the switch grounding cable is crucial to lightning protection and EMI protection.
The power input end of the switch has a noise filter, whose central ground is directly connected to the
chassis to form the chassis ground (commonly known as PGND). You must securely connect this chassis
ground to the earth so the faradism and leakage electricity can be safely released to the earth to
minimize EMI susceptibility of the switch.
You can ground the switch in one of the following ways, depending on the grounding conditions
available at the installation site:
• Grounding the switch with a grounding strip
• Grounding the switch with a grounding conductor buried in the earth ground
• Grounding the switch by using the AC power cord

NOTE:
The V1910-24G-PoE (170W) and V1910-24G-PoE (365W) switches come with an OT terminal for
connecting to a grounding strip. For other switch models, you must prepare OT terminals yourself.
If a grounding strip is available at the installation site, connect the grounding cable to the grounding
strip.
