Getting Started with the cDAQ Chassis
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 three M4 or No. 8 panhead
screws as shown in Figure 1-11. National Instruments does not provide these screws with the
chassis.
Figure 1-11.

from the surface.
Mounting the cDAQ Chassis on a DIN Rail
Use the NI 9916 DIN rail kit (part number 780982-01) to mount the NI cDAQ-9179 chassis on
a DIN rail.
Each DIN rail kit contains one clip three
