Also, for folks that have a router or Ethernet switch with an unused RJ45 Ethernet port in the "server room" , you can also connect a ground cable from Gemini to one of the router or switch's unused RJ45 ports. The commercially-available routers, switches, and such are generally pretty dirty (noisy) and, as such, really benefit from ground-plane noise reduction.
You can see my ground cable with RJ45 tail coming off my Pace router on the right in this photo of my server room setup with Alita, Battle Angel (the Akasa NUC at left). This cable plugs into a ground terminal on my Gemini's "Altaira CG" subsystem.
