Your device ships in an antistatic package to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD)

damage to the device. ESD can damage several components on the device.

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 computer chassis before

removing the device from the package.

Remove the device from the package and inspect the device for loose components

or any sign of damage. Notify National Instruments if the device appears damaged

in any way. Do not install a damaged device into your computer or PXI chassis.

Store the device in the antistatic package when not in use.
