Mounting the CompactRIO Reconfigurable
Embedded Chassis
You can mount the chassis in any orientation on a 35 mm DIN rail or on a
panel. Use the DIN rail mounting method if you already have a DIN rail
configuration or if you need to be able to quickly remove the CompactRIO
chassis. Use the panel mount method for high shock and vibration
applications.
Caution
If the ambient operating temperature is 50 °C or higher, you must allow 25.4 mm
(1 in.) on the top and bottom of the chassis and in front of the I/O modules for air
circulation.
