End of Procedure

Grounding other rack-mounted components

To ground multiple pieces of equipment in a rack, use a separate ground connection from each piece of equipment to the ground bar. If a piece of data communications equipment in a rack does not have a grounding lug then ground the rack to the ground bar.

When the rack is grounded to the ground bar, the equipment is grounded using the Single Point Grounding method, as shown in Figure 28 on page 100.
