If you are installing the switch in the HP 9000 Series or comparable EIA rack:
— All equipment installed in the rack should have a reliable branch circuit
ground connection, and should not rely on a connection to a branch
circuit, such as a power strip.
— The rack should be balanced and the installed equipment should be within
the rack's weight limits. Make sure the rack is mechanically secured to
ensure stability in the event of an earthquake.
