Dan, Bellcore's (now known as Telcordia) GR-1089 (part of NEBS) can give you direction. In the section on ESD Testing (sorry that I can't quote the section number, I don't presently have the document here in my office), there is a notation regarding provision of connection for ESD straps (and marking). They describe this as an 'out' for one of the more intensive ESD tests (remove accessible printed circuit boards from the system, discharge energy at various points around the edge of the board, and place back in and the system should be functional).

We are presently using banana plug type. The views expressed are my own and not necessarily that of my employer's.
