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.
