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: For additional information on static electricity, or assistance with the
installation of this product, contact your Authorized Compaq Service Provider or
refer to the Maintenance and Service Guide.
