1. Unpack the Terminal Block

The terminal block is shipped in an antistatic package to prevent 
electrostatic damage (ESD) that can damage several components in the 
terminal block. To avoid such damage when you handle the terminal block, 
take the following precautions:

Caution

Never 

touch the exposed pins of connectors. 

Ground yourself using a grounding strap or by holding 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 terminal block.

Store the terminal block in the antistatic package when not in use.

SCXI-1366 terminal block

SCXI-1166 switch module
