Grounding Methods

E-2 Electrostatic Discharge
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 Mohm +/- 10 percent resistance in the ground
cords. To provide proper ground, wear the strap snug against the
skin.
Use heelstraps, toestraps, or bootstraps 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, contact your Compaq authorized dealer, reseller, or service
provider.
