Step 1. Unpack the Chassis, Module, and Accessories
Your module is shipped in an antistatic package to prevent electrostatic
damage (ESD) to the module and its components.
Caution Never touch the exposed pins of connectors.
To avoid such damage, take the following precautions:
• Ground yourself using a grounding strap or by touching a grounded
object.
• Touch the antistatic package to a metal part of the chassis before
removing the module from the package.
Remove the chassis, module, and accessory from the packaging and inspect
the products for loose components or any sign of damage. Notify NI if any
of the products appear damaged in any way. Do not install a damaged
device.
Store the module in the antistatic package when the module is not in use.
