How to ground a server rack?
Good afternoon.
There is a rack, in it two servers, UPS, 4 cisco.
Can you tell me how to properly ground this rack?
220V (3-wire wire) was stretched into the room.
Correctly, I understand that you need to put a bus in the rack, ground everything to it, but how to connect the bus itself to ground? Ask electricians to run a separate ground wire from the shield?
Thank you.

Bring everything that is grounded to the bus (i.e., has a ground bolt), connect the bus itself to the common grounding system of the building.

Correctly, I understand that you need to put a bus in the rack, ground everything to it, but how to connect the bus itself to ground?Ground - no way! Zeroing only. Only. In addition to the middle power wire, the rack must be separately connected to a special grounding circuit. In case of a break in the neutral wire or phase imbalance (when zero burns out).
Ask electricians to run a separate ground wire from the shield?Exactly! Thus, you will relieve yourself of responsibility in which case. You don't have the proper clearance, but there are electricians who do. Share responsibility. Make one less headache.
