Unpacking
Your SCXI-1161 module is shipped in an antistatic package to prevent
electrostatic damage to the module. Electrostatic discharge can damage
several components on the module. To avoid such damage in handling
the module, take the following precautions:
• Ground yourself via a grounding strap or by holding a grounded
object.
• Touch the antistatic package to a metal part of your SCXI chassis
before removing the module from the package.
• Remove the module from the package and inspect the module for
loose components or any other sign of damage. Notify National
Instruments if the module appears damaged in any way. Do not
install a damaged module into your SCXI chassis.
• Never touch the exposed pins of the connectors.
