Procedure
Step 1 Attach the ESD wrist strap to bare skin as follows:
a) If you are using the ESD wrist strap supplied with the FRUs, open the wrist strap package and unwrap
the ESD wrist strap. Place the black conductive loop over your wrist and tighten the strap so that it makes
good contact with your bare skin.
b) Open the package and remove the ESD wrist strap. Locate the end of the wrist strap that attaches to your
body and secure it to your bare skin.
Step 2 Grasp the spring or alligator clip and momentarily touch the clip to a bare metal spot (unpainted surface) on
the rack. We recommend that you touch the clip to an unpainted rack rail so that any built-up static charge is
then safely dissipated to the entire rack.
Step 3 Attach the ESD strap to the system ground in one of the following ways:
• If you are using a wrist strap that is equipped with a plug, insert the plug into an open screw hole used
for the grounding lug.
• If you are using a wrist strap with spring or alligator clips, attach either the spring clip or the alligator
clip to the ground lug screw:

If you are using the ESD wrist strap that is supplied with the FRUs, squeeze the spring clip jaws open, position
the spring clip to one side of the system ground lug screw head, and slide the spring clip over the lug screw
head so that the spring clip jaws close behind the lug screw head.
