NOTE:

HP recommends that you use the primary grounding point or auxiliary grounding point 1, because the
grounding cable and grounding screw provided with the switch are applicable only to these two grounding
points.

To use auxiliary grounding point 2, you must prepare a grounding cable yourself. The connection method is the
same as connecting to the other two grounding points.
