Unpacking
Your VXI-SC-1102/B/C submodule is shipped in an antistatic package
to prevent electrostatic damage to the submodule. Electrostatic
discharge can damage several components on the submodule. To avoid
such damage in handling the submodule, 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 VXIbus chassis
before removing the submodule from the package.
• Remove the submodule from the package and inspect the
submodule 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 submodule into your VXIbus
chassis.
• Never touch the exposed pins of connectors.
