Unpacking
The NI FlexRIO FPGA module and the NI FlexRIO adapter module are shipped in antistatic
packages to prevent electrostatic discharge from damaging device components. To prevent such
damage when handling the device, take the following precautions:
•
Ground yourself using a grounding strap or by holding a grounded object, such as your
computer chassis.
•
Touch the antistatic package to a metal part of the computer chassis before removing the
device from the package.
Caution
Never
touch the exposed pins of connectors.
Remove the device from the package and inspect the devices for loose components or any other
sign of damage. Notify NI if the device appears damaged in any way. Do
not
install a damaged
device into the chassis.
Store the NI FlexRIO FPGA module and NI FlexRIO adapter module in the antistatic envelopes
when not in use.
