Tile is the recommended floor surface for areas surrounding the equipment. If the floor covering adjacent to the equipment is carpeted, an anti-static grade is recommended.
If the carpeting surrounding the area housing the equipment is not composed of anti-static material, the use of static discharge mats is recommended. The recommended type of anti-static mat is one that incorporates a grounding clip with a cable, to attach the grounding electrode to earth ground.
