A little out of my area of expertise, but I'll offer my $.02...

The fact that your equipment mounts in a metal rack may be a clue...

If it's metal case screwed into place on a metal rack (bonded, as sorts), then I would think there may be an "equipment ground" terminal on the rack itself to connect to a grounding point.

But if all of the equipment is insulated, and each is provided with it's own grounding means ("grounded" / "3-prong" plug), then additional grounding should be unnecessary, IMHO

Of course, what if the metal cases for the equipment are also grounded - would these effectively ground the rack as well?

Does any of the literature that comes with your equipment discuss grounding? You may want to consult the manufacturer for additional info...
