4. Mount the UniFi Switch by inserting the screw heads into
the mounting slots on the bottom of the switch. Then slide

Grounding (Recommended)
The UniFi Switch is grounded through the Power Adapter;
however, you can enhance ESD protection by connecting the
ancillary ground.

included) to the grounding point.
2. Secure the other end of the ground wire to a grounding
block or other grounded structure.
