Step 1: Unpack and Inspect the Module

The module is shipped in materials which prevent damage from static. The module should only be
removed from the packaging in an anti-static area ensuring that correct anti-static precautions are
taken. Store all modules in anti-static envelopes when not in use.

ESD

Inspect for Damage

After unpacking a module, inspect it for any shipping damage. Report any damage to the shipping agent
immediately, as such damage is not covered by the warranty (see warranty information at beginning of this
document).
To avoid damage when handling a module, do not touch exposed connector pins.

Agilent Acqiris U10xx Series Products Startup Guide
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy
electronic components. Use a static-safe work station to
perform all work on electronic assemblies. The figure (left)
shows a static-safe work station using two types of ESD
protection: conductive table-mat and wrist-strap
combination, and conductive floor-mat and heel-strap
combination. Both types, when used together, provide a
significant level of ESD protection. Of the two, only the
table-mat and wrist-strap combination provides adequate
ESD protection when used alone. To ensure user safety, the
static-safe accessories must provide at least 1 MΩ of
isolation from ground.
DO NOT use these techniques for a static-
safe work station when working on circuitry with a
voltage potential greater than 500 volts.
