2.1 Installation Environment
Whenever unpacking and preparing to install any equipment
described in this manual, please refer to the Important Safety
Instructions chapter of this manual. Only install equipment in well
lit areas on flat, sturdy surfaces with access to basic tools such as
flat and cross head screwdrivers, preferably with magnetic heads
as screws and standoffs are small and easily misplaced.

The PXI-2020/2022 contains several electro-static sensitive com-
ponents that can be easily be damaged by static electricity. The
equipment should be handled on a grounded anti-static mat and
the operator should wear an anti-static wristband during the
unpacking and installation procedure. Please also inspect the
components for apparent damage. Improper shipping and han-
dling may cause damage to the components. Be sure this is no
shipping and handling damage on the components before continu-
ing. CAUTION The equipment must be protected from static dis-
charge and physical shock. Never remove any of the socketed
parts except at a static-free workstation. Use the anti-static bag
shipped with the product to handle the equipment and wear a
grounded wrist strap when servicing.
