Unpacking the Module
SCC modules are shipped in antistatic envelopes to prevent electrostatic
damage (ESD) to the modules. ESD can damage several components on
these products.
Caution Never touch the exposed pins of connectors.
To avoid damage from ESD when you handle the module, take the
following precautions:
Ground yourself by using a grounding strap or by touching a grounded
object.
Touch the antistatic envelope to a metal part of the computer chassis
before removing the module from the envelope.
Remove the module from the envelope and inspect the module for loose
components or any sign of damage. Notify NI if the module appears
damaged in any way. Do not install a damaged module.
Store the module in the antistatic envelope when it is not in use.
Installing the Module
Caution Refer to the Read Me First: Safety and Radio-Frequency Interference document
