ADLINK USB-3488A - Manual (Page 18)

10 Installation
2.2 Unpacking
Both the LPCI-/USB-3488A and PXI-3488 contain electrostatic
sensitive components that can be easily be damaged by static
electricity.
Therefore, these modules should be handled on a grounded anti-
static mat. The operator should be wearing an anti-static wrist-
band, grounded at the same point as the anti-static mat.
Inspect the module for obvious damage. Shipping and handling
may cause damage to the module. Be sure there is no shipping
and handling damage on the module before continuing.
Note: DO NOT APPLY POWER TO THE CARD IF IT HAS BEEN
DAMAGED.
