Hard to know from here.
Easiest way to check is grab a clip lead, clip it to the chassis of the changer and the chassis of the PC... Situations like this are why I keep lots of clip leads on hand. Never know when you need to make a quick temporary connection to test or fix something, but it'll be often if you do enough servicing work.
