Put the provided ESD wrist strap on your wrist ensuring that the metal contact is touching your
skin. Then attach (snap) one end of the ground cable to the wrist strap and remove the alligator
clip from the banana clip on the other end of the ESD grounding cable. Plug the banana clip
end into one of the ESD ports located on the front of the appliance before handling ESD
sensitive hardware. For details on the ESD port location, see

Ensure that the PA-5450 is powered off and that the fans are not still spinning.
