such damage in handling the module, take the following precautions.

Ground yourself via a grounding strap or by holding a grounded chassis such as your SCXI
chassis.
•
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.
•
Never touch the exposed pins of connectors.
