The USB-4761 Module harbors certain electronic components vulnerable to electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD could easily damage the integrated circuits and certain components if preventive measures are not carefully paid attention to. Before removing the module from the antistatic plastic bag, you should take following precautions to ward off possible ESD damage:

•Touch the metal part of your computer chassis with your hand to dis- charge static electricity accumulated on your body. One can also use a grounding strap.

•Make contact between the antistatic bag and ground before opening the bag.

After taking out the module, you should first:

Inspect the module for any possible signs of external damage (loose or damaged components, etc.). If the module is visibly damaged, please notify our service department or our local sales representative immedi- ately. Avoid using a damaged module with your system.

•Avoid physical contact with materials that could hold static electricity such as plastic, vinyl and Styrofoam.
