You can purchase an ESD kit from HP or from a local electronics store.
Review Standard Operating Practices
Standard operating practices include:
•
Work in an ESD-protected environment (see Figure 2-1).
•
Remove all metal accessories such as watches before working with the equipment.
•
Ensure your ESD wriststrap has a built-in series resistor and that the kit includes
an antistatic table mat.
•
Before unpacking a replacement G4SA, place the adapter package on the
antistatic table mat and attach the grounding clip on your ESD wriststrap to an
antistatic mat.
•
When unpacking a G4SA, do not cut into the ESD protective bag surrounding the
adapter. This bag protects the adapter and can be reused for storing an adapter.
•
Before moving a G4SA from the antistatic table mat, attach the grounding clip on
your ESD wriststrap to any unpainted metal surface on the G4SA.
•
Before bringing a G4SA in contact with an IOAM enclosure, attach the grounding
clip on your ESD wriststrap to any unpainted metal surface on the enclosure frame.
•
Store G4SAs that require ESD protection in ESD protective bags.
