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 authorized
reseller install the part.
NOTE:
For more information on static electricity or for assistance with product installation,
contact an authorized reseller.
