static electricity accumulated in your body. Alternatively, wear a grounding strap.

Touch the anti-static bag to a metal part of the computer chassis before opening
the bag.

Hold of the DAQ card by the metal bracket only when removing it from the bag.
After taking out the card

Inspect the card for any signs of external damage (loose or damaged compo -
nents, etc.). If the card is visibly damaged, notify the Advantech service depart -
ment or your local sales representative immediately.

Do not attempt to install a damaged card in your system.
Additionally, pay extra attention to the following during installation:

Avoid physical contact with materials that may hold static electricity, such as
plastic, vinyl, and styrofoam.

When handling the card, hold it by its edges only. Do not touch the exposed
metal connector pins or any electronic components on the card.
