Unpacking
Your PC-DIO-24/PnP board is shipped in an antistatic package to
prevent electrostatic damage to the board. Electrostatic discharge can
damage several components on the board. To avoid such damage in
handling the board, take the following precautions:
•
Ground yourself via a grounding strap or by holding a grounded
object.
•
Touch the antistatic package to a metal part of your PC chassis
before removing the board from the package.
•
Remove the board from the package and inspect the board for loose
components or any other sign of damage. Notify National
Instruments if the board appears damaged in any way. Do not
install a damaged board into your computer.
•
Never touch exposed connector pins.
