The other end of the antistatic wrist strap lead should be connected to one of the following:

A ground mat

The chassis metal as a ground

The grounded mat or the chassis must be connected to a facility ground to prevent a floating ground.

Keep blade servers in the antistatic bags until they are needed.

Remove a blade server from its antistatic bag only when wearing a properly connected ground strap.

Place circuit blade servers that are out of their antistatic bags on an antistatic mat if one is available and the mat is grounded to a facility electrical service ground. Do not place blade servers on top of an antistatic bag unless the outside of the bag also has antistatic protective properties.
