Unpacking
Your BNC-2140 is shipped in an antistatic plastic package to prevent
electrostatic damage to the device. Several components on the device can
be damaged by electrostatic discharge. To avoid such damage in handling
the device, take the following precautions:
•
Ground yourself with a grounding strap or by holding a grounded
object.
•
Touch the plastic package to a metal part of your computer chassis
before removing the device from the package.
•
Never touch exposed connector pins.
Remove the device from the package and inspect the device for loose
components or any other sign of damage. Notify National Instruments if the
device appears damaged in any way. Do not install a damaged device into
your computer.
