Grounding The Work Area; Recommended Materials And Equipment; Computer Operating Guidelines And Routine Care - HP EliteOne G5 Maintenance & Service Manual

Grounding the work area

To prevent static damage at the work area, use the following precautions:
Cover the work surface with approved static-dissipative material. Provide a wrist strap connected to the
●
work surface and properly grounded tools and equipment.
Use static-dissipative mats, foot straps, or air ionizers to give added protection.
●
Handle electrostatic sensitive components, parts, and assemblies by the case or PCB laminate. Handle
●
them only at static-free work areas.
Turn off power and input signals before inserting and removing connectors or test equipment.
●
Use fixtures made of static-safe materials when fixtures must directly contact dissipative surfaces.
●
● Keep work area free of nonconductive materials such as ordinary plastic assembly aids and polystyrene
foam.
● Use field service tools, such as cutters, screwdrivers, and vacuums, that are conductive.
