NI cDAQ-9171/9174/9178 User Manual
• Panel Mounting without a Panel Mount Kit—You can mount the cDAQ chassis directly
on a flat surface using the mounting holes. Align the chassis on the surface. Then, fasten
the chassis to the surface using two screws as shown in Figure 1-7. The cDAQ-9174 uses
two M4 or No. 8 flathead screws. The cDAQ-9178 uses two M4 or No. 8 panhead screws.
National Instruments does not provide these screws with the chassis.
Figure 1-7. Mounting the cDAQ Chassis Directly on a Flat Surface
Refer to the specifications document for your cDAQ chassis for mounting dimensions.
Caution Make sure that no modules are in the chassis before removing it from the
surface.
Mounting the cDAQ-9174/9178 on a DIN Rail
Use the NI 9912 DIN rail kit to mount the cDAQ-9174 chassis on a DIN rail. Use the NI 9915
DIN rail kit with the cDAQ-9178 chassis on a DIN rail.
Each DIN rail kit contains one clip for mounting the chassis on a standard 35 mm DIN rail. To
mount the chassis on a DIN rail, fasten the DIN rail clip to the chassis using a number 2 Phillips
screwdriver and two M4 × 17 screws. The screws are included in the DIN rail kit. Make sure the
DIN rail kit is installed as illustrated in Figure 1-8, with the larger lip of the DIN clip positioned
up. When the DIN rail kit is properly installed, the cDAQ chassis is centered on the DIN rail.
