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 megaohm
±
10 percent resistance in the ground cords. To provide proper grounding, wear
the strap snug against the skin.
•
Use heel straps, toe straps, or boot straps 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 the suggested equipment for proper grounding is not available, have an HP
authorized reseller install the part.
NOTE:
For more information on static electricity or for assistance with product installation,
contact an HP authorized reseller.
