Unpacking the board

The PCI-DAS6052 boards are 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.

Installing the software

Install the InstaCal software included with your board before you install the hardware. If
you ordered the Universal Library software, install that software instead. InstaCal is
installed at the same time as the Universal Library.
Installing the software first ensures that the information required for proper board
detection is installed and available at boot up. The procedure for installing InstaCal is
explained in the Software Installation Manual included with your board (and also
available on our web site at www.mccdaq.com/PDFmanuals/sm-installation.pdf).
If you ordered the Universal Library...
If you ordered the optional Universal Library, use that CD to install both InstaCal and
the Universal Library.
