Unpacking the board

The PCI-CTR05 board is shipped in an antistatic container to prevent damage by an electrostatic
discharge. To avoid such damage, perform the following procedure when unpacking and handling your
board:
1. Before opening the antistatic container, ground yourself with a wrist-grounding strap or by holding
onto a grounded object (such as the computer chassis).
2. Touch the antistatic container to the computer chassis before removing the board from the container.
3. Remove the board from the container. Never touch the exposed pins or circuit connections on the
board.
If your board is damaged, notify Measurement Computing Corporation immediately by phone, fax, or
e-mail. For international customers, contact your local distributor where you purchased the PCI-CTR05.
