Align the C Series module with the cDAQ chassis slot.
10. Squeeze both C Series module latches, insert the module into the module slot, and press
until both latches lock the module in place.
11. Wire the C Series module as indicated in the C Series module documentation.
Note
Connect I/O cable shields to the chassis grounding screw, shown in
