96041 Revision P xxiii
Sun Confidential - Internal Only
• Reinstall all equipment covers and close all equipment doors after you have
completed the work.
• If the grounding-kit work surface has been exposed to temperatures above 66ºC
(150ºF) or below 4.5ºC (40ºF), acclimate the work surface to room temperature
before you unroll it.
• Immediately place any component that you have removed into an ESD-protective
package.
• Keep the grounding-kit work surface clean.
Note: To clean the work surface, use a mild detergent and water, and make sure
that the surface is completely dry before you use it.
• Periodically check the electrical resistance of the ground cord and the wrist-strap coil
cord.
Note: The ground cord should measure less than 1.2 MΩ, and the coil cord
should measure between 0.8 and 1.2 MΩ. Repair or replace the cords if they
no longer meet these requirements.
ESD-Protection Procedure
Remember that each customer environment is different. Address all the customer’s
concerns before you work on any equipment.
Prepare the Work Area
1. Before you service the equipment, unfold the grounding-kit work surface

4. Snap one end of the coil cord to the wrist band.
