Contact your system administrator to confirm that the network is working and that a
firewall is not interfering with discovery. For additional troubleshooting resources for
the cDAQ chassis, refer to the

section of this
manual and the
Finding a Network DAQ Device in MAX
topic in the
Measurement &
Automation Explorer Help for NI-DAQmx
.
12. If the cDAQ chassis is not reserved automatically, select the chassis and click the

Wiring Power to the cDAQ Chassis
Caution
To ensure the specified EMC performance, do
not
connect the power input
to a DC mains supply or to any supply requiring a connecting cable longer than 3 m
(10 ft). A DC mains supply is a local DC electricity supply network in the
infrastructure of a site or building.
The cDAQ chassis requires an external power source as described in the
Power Requirements
section of the
NI cDAQ-9188XT Specifications
. Some suggested NI power supplies are listed in
Table 1-5. The cDAQ chassis filters and regulates the supplied power and provides power to all
of the modules. The green POWER LED on the front panel identifies when the power input is
in use.
