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