2.1 Unpacking
After receiving your USB-4711A package, please inspect its contents
first. The package should contain the following items:
• USB-4711A Module
• Shielded USB 2.0 Cable (1.8 m)
• Companion CD-ROM (DLL driver included)
• User Manual
The USB-4711A Module harbors certain electronic components vulnera-
ble to electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD could easily damage the inte-
grated circuits and certain components if preventive measures are not
carefully paid attention to. Before removing the module from the anti-
static plastic bag, you should take following precautions to ward off
possible ESD damage:
• Touch the metal part of your computer chassis with your hand to dis-
charge static electricity accumulated on your body. One can also use a
grounding strap.
• Make contact between the antistatic bag and ground before opening.
After taking out the module, you should first:
Inspect the module for any possible signs of external damage (loose or
damaged components, etc.). If the module is visibly damaged, please
notify our service department or our local sales representative immedi-
ately. Avoid using a damaged module with your system.
• Avoid physical contact with materials that could hold static electricity
such as plastic, vinyl and Styrofoam.
