marked on the panel, leaving room to easily remove the SCB-100A from the panel.
Installed screw height for both screw types (from the wall to the top of the screw) is

DIN Rail Mounting
The NI 9913 DIN rail mounting kit (part number 781740-01) contains one clip for mounting
the SCB-100A on a standard 35 mm DIN rail. Fasten the DIN rail clip to the accessory using
two FLH #6-32 x 5/16" screws (included in the kit) with a #2 Phillips screwdriver, as shown in
the following figure.
Note The threaded holes on the SCB-100A for DIN rail mounting should not be
used more than five times. Unscrewing and reinstalling the DIN rail clip will
produce a compromised connection between the DIN rail clip and accessory.
