3. INSTALLATION AND SETUP
3.1. UNPACKING THE HARDWARE
The hardware is shipped in an ESD protective container. Before unpacking the hardware, make sure that this
takes place in an environment with controlled static electricity. The following recommendations should be
followed:
Make sure your body is discharged to the static voltage level on the floor, table and system chassis by
wearing a conductive wrist-chain connected to a common reference point.
If a conductive wrist-chain is not available, touch the surface where the board is to be put (like table,
chassis etc.) before unpacking the board.
Leave the board only on surfaces with controlled static characteristics, i.e. specially designed anti
static table covers.
If handling the board over to another person, touch this persons hand, wrist etc. to discharge any
static potential.
IMPORTANT: Never put the hardware on top of the conductive plastic bag in which the hardware is
shipped. The external surface of this bag is highly conductive and may cause rapid static
discharge causing damage. (The internal surface of the bag is static dissipative.)
Inspect the hardware to verify that no mechanical damage appears to have occurred. Please
report any discrepancies or damage to your distributor or to AcQuisition Technology
immediately and do not install the hardware.
