Unpacking
Caution To prevent ESD from damaging the devices, ground yourself using a
grounding strap or by holding a grounded object, such as your computer chassis.
1. Touch the antistatic package to a metal part of the computer chassis.
2. Remove each module from the package and inspect it for loose components or any other
sign of damage.
Caution Never touch the exposed pins of connectors.
Note Do not install a device if it appears damaged in any way.
3. Unpack any other items and documentation from the kit.
Store the devices in the antistatic package when they are not in use.
