damage to the board. Several components on the board can be damaged by electrostatic
discharge. To avoid such damage in handling the board, touch the plastic bag to a metal part of
your VMEbus computer chassis before removing the board from the bag.

of damage. Notify National Instruments if the board appears damaged in any way. DO NOT
install a damaged board into your computer.
