Follow these steps to attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist
strap.
Before you begin
When you wear the ESD wrist strap, ensure the flexible grounding cord
remains connected to you and to the rack frame or enclosure sheetmetal.
About this task
This wrist strap has a high resistance (>1 megohm) resistor in series
with the grounding clip so there is no danger to you. It discharges the static
electricity from your body.
Procedure
- Connect the clip on the flexible grounding cord to the rack frame
or enclosure sheetmetal.
- Keep the strap on and connected while you touch, insert, or remove
any ESD-sensitive part.
