Unpacking the Module

SCC modules are shipped in antistatic envelopes to prevent electrostatic

damage (ESD) to the modules. ESD can damage several components on

these products.

Caution Never touch the exposed pins of connectors.

To avoid damage from ESD when you handle the module, take the

following precautions:

• Ground yourself by using a grounding strap or by touching a grounded

object.

• Touch the antistatic envelope to a metal part of the computer chassis

before removing the module from the envelope.

Remove the module from the envelope and inspect the module for loose

components or any sign of damage. Notify NI if the module appears

damaged in any way. Do not install a damaged module.

Store the module in the antistatic envelope when it is not in use.
