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 a
HP authorized reseller install the part.

Note:

For more information on static electricity, or assistance with product installation,

contact your HP authorized reseller.
