I did some research, and found that it "8" becomes a common ground. It's useful for reducing electro-magnetic interference like the same "noise" you get out of audio systems sometimes. Not of much use to you and your application. Mine aren't hooked up, and have been using them for a while now. If you were running a computer off your supply or an amplifier it would be necessary. Don't worry about it.
