Site Preparation Guidelines Preparing for Installation feeding and stacking of printer paper and/or improper system equipment operation. Extremely low humidity levels aggravate problems with static electricity. Electrostatic Discharge If there is an abnormally high level of static electricity at your computer system's location (4 KV or higher), personnel will probably be "sparking" upon contact with the equipment. Carpeting and/or low humidity will probably be the source of static electricity, especially in dry and cold climates. Static electricity can often be significantly reduced by using a humidifier. Hewlett-Packard recommends a heat evaporating type humidifier, and strongly recommends against using a cold water atomizer type humidifier. Other ways to minimize electrostatic discharge are by using specially grounded mats in front of the computer system, or by treating carpeting with anti-static spray. Anti-static spray is not recommended because it finds its way into the system's intake filter and tends to coat the circuitry. If spray is used, it should be applied while the system is turned off. 22 Chapter 2
