Grounding Methods

There are several methods for grounding. Use one or more of the following
measures when handling or installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:
Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded
workstation or the computer chassis. Wrist straps are flexible straps
with a minimum of 1 megohm +/- 10 percent resistance in the ground
cords.
Use heel straps, toe straps, 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, have
an Authorized Compaq Service Provider install the part.
NOTE:
installation of this product, contact your Authorized Compaq Service Provider
or refer to the Maintenance and Service Guide.
