5.7 Attaching the Wrist Strap
Caution – Wear an antistatic wrist strap and use an ESD-protected mat when
handling components. When servicing or removing system components, attach an
ESD strap to your wrist, then to a metal area on the chassis. Then disconnect the
power cord from the system and the wall receptacle. Following this caution
equalizes all electrical potentials with the system.
1. Unwrap the first two folds of the wrist strap; wrap the adhesive side firmly
against your wrist.
2. Peel the liner from the copper foil at the opposite end of the wrist strap.
3. Attach the copper end of the wrist strap to the chassis (

4. Disconnect the AC power cord from the system.
