[c-nsp] Multiple power supply failures. Advise needed

[Randy McAnally]

I'm sorry, but I highly doubt this is why his devices are failing.  Each
device receives ground through the power cord (3rd prong is there for a
reason, as well it is tied to chassis ground internally).  Secondly, the
cabinets themselves should be grounded as is the case in any proper facility.
 By fastening the chasis to the cabinet you are basically providing a second
ground path.  A third ground path is nice and pretty, but it isn't going to do
much if anything at all to help him in this case.

Either the power is extremely dirty, or the facility as a while is not
properly grounded which means no matter how well he grounds his equipment it
won't help unless he digs his own ground.
