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 PE wire of the AC power cord
NOTE:
The power and grounding terminals in this section are for illustration only.

system in the equipment room. Do not connect it to a fire
main or lightning rod.
If a grounding strip is available at the installation site, use the grounding strip to ground the switch.
To ground the switch by using a grounding strip:
1. Connect one end of the grounding cable to the grounding screw on the switch.
a. Remove the grounding screw from the rear panel of the switch chassis.
