Installation
52 Agilent 240/280 Series AA User’s Guide
CAUTION
The components on the communications card and in the PC are highly static-
sensitive. To avoid damaging these components you must drain any static
charges from your body before installing the board, and prevent the generation of
any new static charges during the installation.
This can be done by wearing an ESD (electrostatic discharge) wrist strap
attached to a grounding point. You can obtain a disposable ESD strap from
Agilent, otherwise you can obtain one from your local electronics supplier.
To install a National Instruments PCI-GPIB communications card:
NOTE
Ensure that the SpectrAA software has been installed.
1 Turn off and unplug the computer.
2 Remove the cover, following the instructions in the manual
provided with the computer.
3 Attach one end of the ESD strap to a bare metal part of the PC
chassis and wrap the other end around your wrist.
