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 megohm
± 10 percent resistance in the ground cords. To provide proper ground, 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 you do not have any of the suggested equipment for proper grounding, have an
Authorized Compaq Reseller install the part.
NOTE: For more information on static electricity, or for assistance with product installation,
contact your Compaq authorized reseller.
