Attaching an ESD Strap
After you install the system ground lug, follow these steps to correctly attach the ESD wrist strap:
SUMMARY STEPS
1.
Attach the ESD wrist strap to bare skin as follows:
2.
Grasp the spring or alligator clip on the ESD wrist strap and momentarily touch the clip to a bare metal
spot (unpainted surface) on the rack. We recommend that you touch the clip to an unpainted rack rail so
that any built-up static charge is then safely dissipated to the entire rack.
3.
Attach either the spring clip or the alligator clip to the ground lug screw as follows:
DETAILED STEPS
Step 1
Attach the ESD wrist strap to bare skin as follows:
a) If you are using the ESD wrist strap supplied with the FRUs, open the wrist strap package and unwrap the ESD wrist
strap. Place the black conductive loop over your wrist and tighten the strap such that it touches your bare skin well.
b) If you are using an ESD wrist strap equipped with an alligator clip, open the package and remove the ESD wrist
strap. Locate the end of the wrist strap that attaches to your body and secure it to your bare skin.
Step 2
Grasp the spring or alligator clip on the ESD wrist strap and momentarily touch the clip to a bare metal spot (unpainted
surface) on the rack. We recommend that you touch the clip to an unpainted rack rail so that any built-up static charge
is then safely dissipated to the entire rack.
Step 3
Attach either the spring clip or the alligator clip to the ground lug screw as follows:
a) If you are using the ESD wrist strap that is supplied with the FRUs, squeeze the spring clip jaws open, position the
spring clip to one side of the system ground lug screw head, and slide the spring clip over the lug screw head so that
the spring clip jaws close behind the lug screw head.
The spring clip jaws do not open wide enough to fit directly over the head of the lug screw or the lug barrel.
