Unpacking

The NI PXIe-8830mc ships in an antistatic package to prevent electrostatic discharge from damaging device components. To prevent such damage when handling the device, ground yourself using a grounding strap or by holding a grounded object, such as your computer chassis, and complete the following steps:

  1. Touch the antistatic package to a metal part of the chassis before removing the device from the package.
    Caution Never touch the exposed pins of connectors.
  2. Remove the device from the package and inspect the device for loose components or any other sign of damage.
  3. Notify NI if the device appears damaged in any way. Do not install a damaged device into your chassis.
