Home / Network rack PDU grounding
To ground a server rack, identify the grounding point, which is typically a metal stud or terminal on the rack's frame or chassis.
You want a grounding system that directs damaging currents away from equipment. TIA-942 requires each rack to bond directly to the grounding grid or common bonding network, directing current away
