take the following precautions:
Caution

touch the exposed pins of connectors.
•
Ground yourself using a grounding strap or by touching a grounded
object.
•
Touch the antistatic package to a metal part of the chassis before you
remove the terminal block from the package.
Remove the terminal block from the package and inspect the terminal block
for loose components or any sign of damage. Notify NI if the terminal
block appears damaged in any way. Do
not
install a damaged terminal
block on a switch module.
Store the terminal block in the antistatic package when not in use.
