Grounding Methods

There are several methods for grounding. Use one or more of the following methods when handling or installing electrostatic- sensitive parts:

Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation or computer chassis. Wrist straps are flexible straps with a minimum of 1 megohm +/- 10 percent resistance in the ground cords. To provide proper grounding, wear the strap snug against the skin.

Use heelstraps, toestraps, 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.

IMPORTANT: If you do not have the suggested equipment for proper grounding, or if you need more information on static electricity or assistance with product installation, contact your Compaq authorized dealer, reseller, or service provider.
