The original board that you purchase comes in a cardbox box for protection against damage that can occur during shipping. Before you open the box look over the outside of the box for signs of damage. Look for signs that liquids splashed or dripped on the box or that the box sat in liquid. Look for holes and dents in the box. Open the box and remove the packaging material. Put it aside and keep it for reuse. You might have to ship the board to another location, ship it to a repair facility, or ship it to customer service.
