Grounding Methods - HP Compaq t5135 Hardware Reference Manual

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 Thin Client chassis. Wrist straps are
flexible straps with a minimum of 1 megohm +/- 10 percent resistance in the ground cords. To
provide proper grounding, 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 an HP authorized
dealer, reseller, or service provider.
