Grounding Methods - HP StorageWorks NAS 1500s Installation 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
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 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 an authorized reseller install the part.
Note:
product installation, contact your authorized reseller.
