CompTIA A+ 220-1102 Practice Question

Using an ESD strap correctly is essential to prevent electrostatic discharge that can damage sensitive components. An ESD strap ensures that any static electricity is grounded, protecting the electronic parts you are handling. Attaching the ESD strap to a non-painted, metal part of the computer chassis ensures a good ground connection. Attaching it to yourself properly is equally important, to ensure that you are grounded, too. Touching a radiator or a power button doesn't effectively ground you and does not provide continuous protection against static discharge.
