To meet safety and electromagnetic interference (EMI) requirements and to ensure
proper operation, you must connect the switches to earth ground before you connect
them to power.
For installations that require a separate grounding conductor to the chassis, use the
protective earthing terminal on the J-EX Series switch chassis to connect to the earth
ground (see Figure 57 on page 129).

Before you connect earth ground to the protective earthing terminal of a J-EX Series
switch, ensure that a licensed electrician has attached an appropriate grounding lug to
the grounding cable.
