Grounding Methods
There are several methods for grounding. Use one or more of the following
methods when handling or installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:
■
Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation
or computer chassis. Wrist straps are flexible straps with a minimum of
1 megohm ± 10 percent resistance in the ground cords. To provide
proper ground, wear the strap snug against the skin.
■
Use heel straps, toe straps, or boot straps at standing workstations. Wear
the straps on both feet when standing on conductive floors or dissipating
floor mats.
■
Use conductive field service tools.
■
Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work
mat.
If you do not have any of the suggested equipment for proper grounding, have
an Authorized Compaq Reseller install the part.
NOTE:
For more information on static electricity, or assistance with product
installation, contact your Authorized Compaq Reseller.
