ATTENTION
Electrostatic discharge can damage integrated circuits or
semiconductors if you touch the bus connector pins or the
terminal block on the module. Follow these guidelines when
you handle the module:
• Touch a grounded object to discharge static potential.
• Wear an approved wrist-strap grounding device.
• Do not touch the bus connector or connector pins.
• Do not touch circuit components inside the module.
• Use a static-safe work station, if available.
• Keep the module in its static-shield box when it is not in
