For an AC-powered switch, if neither of the above-mentioned two conditions is
available, ground the switch through PE wire of the AC power supply. In this case,

For a -48V-DC-powered switch, if none of the first two conditions mentioned above
is available, ground it through the return wire (RTN) of the DC power supply. In this
case, make sure this RTN wire is well connected to the ground at the DC output of
the DC power cabinet.
