additional grounding when you plug the power supply in the switch into a grounded AC power outlet by using
the power cord.
To connect earth ground to a switch:
CAUTION:
1. Secure the grounding lug on the grounding cable to the earthing terminal on the rear panel of the switch by using
washers and screws.
2. Connect the other end of the grounding cable to a proper earth ground.
To connect power to an AC-powered switch:

brackets above and below the power cord inlet.
