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 (earthed)
workstation or computer chassis. Wrist straps are flexible straps with a
minimum of 1 megohm
To provide proper grounding, 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
a Compaq authorized reseller install the part.
NOTE: For more information on static electricity, or assistance with product installation,
contact your Compaq authorized reseller.
