2.2.5 Grounding A good grounding system is the basis for the stable and reliable operation of the RG-NBS3100 series switches. It is the chief condition to prevent lightning stroke and resist interference. Please carefully check the grounding conditions on the installation site according to the grounding requirements, and perform grounding operations properly as required.
The grounding required for EMC design includes shielding ground, filter ground, noise and interference suppression, and level reference. All the above constitute the comprehensive grounding requirements. The resistance of earth wires should be less than 1 ohm. The RG-NBS3100 series switch back plane is reserved with one grounding pole, as shown in Figure 2-1.
