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 Server
Maintenance and Service Guide.
