Proper Grounding Practices Grounding is one of the most important parts of equipment installation. Proper grounding practices ensure that the buildings and the installed equipment within them have low-impedance connections and low-voltage differentials between chassis. When you properly ground systems during installation, you reduce or prevent shock hazards, equipment damage due to transients, and data corruption. Table 2-2 lists some general grounding practice guidelines. OL-16188-01 Cisco MDS 9200 Series Hardware Installation Guide 2-19
