2.1 Unpacking
After receiving your USB-4761 package, please inspect its contents first.
The package should contain the following items:
• USB-4761 Module
• Shielded USB 2.0 Cable (1.8 m)
• Companion CD-ROM (DLL driver included)
The USB-4761 Module harbors certain electronic components vulnerable
to
electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD could easily damage the integrated
circuits and certain components if preventive measures are not carefully
paid attention to.
Before removing the module from the antistatic plastic
bag, you should take following precautions to ward off possible ESD
damage:
• Touch the metal part of your computer chassis with your hand to dis-
charge static electricity accumulated on your body. One can also use a
grounding strap.
• Make contact between the antistatic bag and ground before opening the
bag.
After taking out the module, you should first:
Inspect the module for any possible signs of external damage (loose or
damaged components, etc.). If the module is visibly damaged, please
notify our service department or our local sales representative immedi-
ately. Avoid using a damaged module with your system.
• Avoid physical contact with materials that could hold static
electricity such as plastic, vinyl and Styrofoam.
