ADLINK DAQe-2502 - Manual (Page 22)

12 Installation
2.2 Unpacking
Your DAQ-/DAQe-/PXI-2502/2501 card contains electro-static
sensitive components that can be easily be damaged by static
electricity.
Therefore, the card should be handled on a grounded anti-static
mat. The operator should be wearing an anti-static wristband,
grounded at the same point as the anti-static mat.
Inspect the card package for obvious damages. Shipping and han-
dling may cause damage to the card. Be sure there are no ship-
ping and handling damages on the modules carton before
continuing.
After opening the card module carton, extract the system module
and place it only on a grounded anti-static surface with component
side up.
Again, inspect the module for damages. Press down on all the
socketed IC's to make sure that they are properly seated. Do this
only with the module place on a firm flat surface.
You are now ready to install your DAQ-/DAQe-/PXI-2502/2501
card.
NOTE DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE CARD IF IT HAS
BEEN DAMAGED.
