Improper Application
PC plug-in boards for the PCI-Express- or PXI-Express-bus may not be
taken into operation outside of the PC. Never connect the devices with
voltage-carrying parts, especially not with mains voltage.
Make sure that no contact with voltage-carrying parts can happen by the
external wiring of the device. As a basic principle, all connections should
only be made or removed in a powered-down state.

The device is not suitable to be used as a children’s toy, in the household

taken by the user.
