avoid such damage in handling the module, take the following precautions:
• Touch the antistatic package to a metal part of your SCXI chassis before removing the
module from the package.
• Remove the module from the package and inspect the module for loose components or any
other sign of damage. Notify National Instruments if the module appears damaged in any
way. Do not install a damaged module into your SCXI chassis.
