2. Use an antistatic mat or similar surface.
When performing any installation or service procedure, place static-sensitive parts,
such as boards, cards, and disk drives, on an antistatic surface. The following items
can be used as an antistatic surface:

The shipping container used to package a Sun replacement part
Sun electrostatic discharge (ESD) mat, Sun part number 250-1088 (available
through your Sun sales representatives)
Disposable ESD mat, shipped with replacement parts or options

Attach the appropriate end of the strap to the system chassis sheet metal and attach
the other end of the strap to your wrist. Refer to the instructions that come with the
strap.
Note – Make sure that the wrist strap is in direct contact with the metal on the
chassis.
