B Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
Guidelines
The following ESD guidelines are standard operating procedures for installing or
replacing a customer-replaceable unit (CRU) or field-replaceable unit (FRU):
•
Obtain an electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection kit and follow the directions that
come with the kit. You can purchase an ESD kit from HP or from a local electronics
store. Ensure that your ESD wriststrap has a built-in series resistor and that the kit
includes an antistatic table mat.
•
Place the CRU or FRU package container on an antistatic table mat.
•
Store the CRUs or FRUs that require ESD protection in ESD protective bags.
•
When you unpack the CRU or FRU, do not cut into the ESD protective bag.
•
Before you move a CRU or FRU from an antistatic table mat, attach the grounding
clip from your ESD wriststrap to any unpainted metal surface on the CRU or FRU
frame.
•
Before you bring a CRU or FRU into contact with an enclosure, attach the
grounding clip on your ESD wriststrap to any unpainted metal surface on the
enclosure frame.
•
When you remove a CRU or FRU from an enclosure, first pull the CRU or FRU
partway out, then attach the grounding clip on your ESD wriststrap to any
unpainted metal surface on the CRU or FRU frame.
