XG FIREWALL HARDWARE DEVICE SECURITY

Question

SIR, 
 XG FIREWALLS ARE COMING WITH 12V DC/ 2 AMP, 3AMP POWER ADAPTER. THESE ADAPTERS DON`T HAVE EARTHING. I REQUEST YOU TO MAKE EARTHING WITHIN THIS ADAPTER. THIS WILL PROTECT HARDWARE. SPECIALLY IN RAINY SEASON IN INDIA. AS WE HAVE USED CYBEROAM DEVICES THOSE DEVICES HAD EARTHING WITHIN DEVICES. FOR REFERANC I M UPLOADING SOME IMAGES.

Hello, 
 This is the information provided by the Hardware team: 
 ""Based on the adapter&rsquo;s specification and safety certification requirement &ndash; These are Class II adapter&rsquo;s and don&rsquo;t need to have earthing pin design . Class II feature additional safety precautions such as double insulation or reinforced insulation, thereby eliminating the need for a protective earth (ground) connection. Cyberoam product were Class I adaptor&rsquo;s, which required additional earthing pin design.""

Hi, 
 putting an earth lug on the power brick will not earth the XG because the power brick isolates the mains from the XG by virtue of being a switch mode powersupply.You should be ensuring your XG is earthed via the rack it is installed in.
