2.2.1 Installation Environment
When preparing to install any equipment described in this man-
ual, first refer to Important Safety Instructions.
Only install equipment in well lit areas on flat, sturdy surfaces
with access to basic tools such as flat- and cross-head screw-
drivers, preferably with magnetic heads as screws and stand-
offs are small and easily misplaced.
Recommended Installation Tools include:

Phillips (cross-head) screwdriver

Flat-head screwdriver

Anti-static wrist strap

Anti-static mat
ADLINK PXIe system controllers are electrostatically sensitive
and can be easily damaged by static electricity. The equipment
must be handled on a grounded anti-static mat, and operators
must wear an anti-static wristband, grounded at the same point
as the anti-static mat.
Inspect the carton and packaging for damage. Shipping and
handling may cause damage to the contents. Ensure that all
contents are undamaged before installing.
CAUTION:
All equipment must be protected from static discharge
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 equip-
ment and wear a grounded wrist strap when servicing or
installing.
