Supplemental Ground on Router

So I plan on using an Adtran router (Netvanta) for my small businesses office. However, in the installation manual it mentions attaching a supplemental ground wire to the unit. In my small office we don't have have a networking room and just plan on placing on a tabletop so I don't really have anything to ground the equipment to. My question is whether or not this is just a manufacturers recommendation or if it is required for the safe operation of the switch? The router has a 48VDC power input but is connected to a power brick which plugs into an AC outlet with a 3rd prong. Does that 3rd prong ground not safely ground the chassis of the switch?
