Step 1 - Unpack and Inspect the Module
The module is shipped in materials which prevent damage from static. The
module should only be removed from the packaging in an anti-static area
ensuring that correct anti-static precautions are taken. Store the module in
an anti-static envelope when not in use.
ESD
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy electronic components. Use a
static-safe work station to perform all work on electronic assemblies. The figure
(left) shows a static-safe work station using two types of ESD protection:
conductive table-mat and wrist-strap combination, and conductive floor-mat and
heel-strap combination. Both types, when used together, provide a significant level
of ESD protection. Of the two, only the table-mat and wrist-strap combination
provides adequate ESD protection when used alone. To ensure user safety, the
static-safe accessories must provide at least 1 MΩ of isolation from ground.
DO NOT use these techniques for a static-safe work station when working
on circuitry with a voltage potential greater than 500 volts.
Inspect for Damage
After unpacking an instrument, inspect it for any shipping damage. Report any
damage to the shipping agent immediately, as such damage is not covered by the
warranty (see warranty information at beginning of this document).
To avoid damage when handling a module, do not touch exposed connector
pins.
