Unpacking

Your PC-LPM-16/PnP board is shipped in an antistatic package to

prevent electrostatic damage to the board. Electrostatic discharge can

damage several components on the board. To avoid such damage in

handling the board, take the following precautions:

• Ground yourself via a grounding strap or by holding a grounded object.

• Touch the antistatic package to a metal part of your computer

chassis before removing the board from the package.

• Remove the board from the package 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.

• Never touch the exposed pins of connectors.
