Well, I am grounded through a lightning rod off of the tower. That has no bends and connected to an 8ft copper rod in the ground. I am just trying to be overly careful and ground the dc injector that sits in my datacenter if possible. I have everything grounded properly on the tower but I would like to know if it is recommended to ground the injector since it does have a grounding screw.
