damage in handling the board, touch the plastic bag to a metal part of
your computer chassis before removing the board from the bag.
3.
Remove the board from the bag and inspect the board for loose
components or any other sign of damage. Notify National Instruments
if the board appears damaged in any way. Do not install a damaged
board into your computer.
