Unpacking
Your SCXI-119X module is shipped in an antistatic package to prevent
electrostatic discharge damage to the module. Electrostatic discharge can
damage several components on the module. To avoid damaging the
module, take the following precautions:
• Ground yourself through 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 connectors to avoid possible
electrostatic discharge.
