C ESD Guidelines
Observe these ESD guidelines when servicing electronic components:
•
Obtain an electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection kit and follow the directions that
come with the kit. You can purchase an ESD kit from HP (T99247-A00) 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.
•
Before you unpack a replacement CRU, place the CRU package on the antistatic
table mat and attach the grounding clip on your wriststrap to the mat.
•
When you unpack the CRU, do not cut into the ESD protective bag surrounding the
CRU. The protective bag protects the CRU and can be reused for storing a CRU.
•
Before you move the CRU from the antistatic table mat, attach the grounding clip
from your ESD wriststrap to any unpainted metal surface on the CRU frame.
•
Before you bring a CRU in contact with a system enclosure, attach the grounding
clip on your ESD wriststrap to any unpainted metal surface on the system
enclosure frame.
•
When you remove a CRU from a system enclosure, first pull the CRU partly out of
the slot and then attach the grounding clip on your ESD wriststrap to any unpainted
metal surface on the CRU frame.
•
Store CRUs that require ESD protection in ESD protective bags. Figure C-1 on
page C-2 shows how to use an ESD kit when servicing CRUs.
