Re: Rack grounding
If the equipment is all properly enclosed in it's casings then no. After
all, you don't need to earth a TV stand just because the TV is plugged into
the mains!
The only room where supplementary bonding is required is the bathroom.

All
the mains kit is either earthed (via the 3-pin plug) or is double
insulated,
and the LV stuff is, well, low voltage (typ. <12V). The rack is metal
framed, and held together with metal fixings (screws etc.).
