Unpacking
Your SCXI-1104/C module is shipped in an antistatic package to prevent
electrostatic damage to the module. Electrostatic discharge can damage
several components in the module. To avoid damaging the module, take the
following precautions:
• Ground yourself using a grounding strap or by holding a grounded
object.
• Touch the antistatic package to a metal part of your SCXI chassis
before removing the module from the package.
• Remove the module from the package and inspect the module for loose
components or any other sign of damage. Notify National Instruments
if the module appears damaged in any way. Do not install a damaged
module into your SCXI chassis.
• Never touch the exposed pins of connectors.
