Ground yourself via a grounding strap or by holding a grounded
object.
Touch the antistatic package to a metal part of your computer
chassis before removing the device from the package.
Remove the device from the package and inspect the device for
loose components or any sign of damage. Notify National
Instruments if the device appears damaged in any way. Do not
install a damaged device into your computer.
Never touch the exposed pins of connectors.
Store your 6533 device in the antistatic envelope when not in use.
