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.
Note For information about how different mounting configurations can cause
temperature derating, go to ni.com/info and enter the Info Code criomounting.
Note For information about typical accuracy specifications for modules, go to
ni.com/info and enter the Info Code criotypical.
Caution Your installation must meet the following requirements for space and
cabling clearance:
• Allow 25.4 mm (1 in.) on the top and the bottom of the chassis for air
circulation.
• Allow 50.8 mm (2 in.) in front of modules for cabling clearance for common
connectors, such as the 10-terminal, detachable screw terminal connector.

The following sections contain instructions for the mounting methods. Before using any of
these mounting methods, record the serial number from the back of the chassis. You will be
unable to read the serial number after you have mounted the chassis.
Caution Make sure that no I/O modules are in the chassis before mounting it.

Mounting the Chassis on a Panel
Panel or wall mounting is the best method for applications that are subject to high shock and
vibration. You can use the NI 9904 panel mount kit to mount the cRIO-9075/9076 on a flat
surface. Complete the following steps.
1. Fasten the chassis to the panel mount kit using a number 2 Phillips screwdriver and two
M4 × 25 screws. NI provides these screws with the panel mount kit. You must use these
screws because they are the correct depth and thread for the panel. Tighten the screws to a
maximum torque of 1.3 N · m (11.5 lb · in.).

Caution Make sure that no I/O modules are in the chassis before removing it from
the panel.
Mounting the Chassis Directly on a Flat Surface Using
the Mounting Holes
Panel or wall mounting is the best method for applications that are subject to high shock and
vibration. If you do not have the NI 9904 panel mount kit and do not require the portability
that the NI 9904 affords, you can mount the chassis directly on a flat surface using the
mounting holes. Complete the following steps.
1. Align the chassis on the surface.
2. Fasten the chassis to the surface using M4 or number 8 flathead screws. NI does not
provide these screws with the chassis.
Figure 7. Mounting the Chassis Directly on a Flat Surface
Mounting the Chassis on a DIN Rail
You can order the NI 9912 DIN rail mount kit if you want to mount the chassis on a DIN rail.
You need one clip for mounting the chassis on a standard 35 mm DIN rail. Complete the
following steps to mount the chassis on a DIN rail.
1. Fasten the DIN rail clip to the chassis using a number 2 Phillips screwdriver and two
M4 × 25 screws. NI provides these screws with the DIN rail mount kit. Tighten the
screws to a maximum torque of 1.3 N · m (11.5 lb · in.).

Caution Make sure that no I/O modules are in the chassis before removing it
from the DIN rail.
Mounting the Chassis on a Desktop Using the NI 9901
Desktop Mounting Kit
You can use the NI 9901 desktop mounting kit to mount the chassis on a desktop. You must
install the adapter bracket using two M3 × 20 screws. The adapter bracket and the screws are
included in the kit. Refer to the NI 9901 documentation for information about mounting the
chassis on a desktop.

Complete the following steps to install a C Series I/O module in the chassis.
1. Make sure that no I/O-side power is connected to the I/O module. If the system is in a
nonhazardous location, the chassis power can be on when you install I/O modules.
2. Align the I/O module with an I/O module slot in the chassis. The module slots are labeled
1 to 4, left to right.

5. Repeat these steps to install additional I/O modules.
Removing I/O Modules from the Chassis
Complete the following steps to remove a C Series I/O module from the chassis.
1. Make sure that no I/O-side power is connected to the I/O module. If the system is in a
nonhazardous location, the chassis power can be on when you remove I/O modules.
2. Squeeze the latches on both sides of the module and pull the module out of the chassis.
Connecting the Chassis to Earth Ground
You must connect the chassis grounding screw to earth ground. Complete the following steps
to connect to earth ground.
1. Attach a ring lug to a 1.6 mm2 (14 AWG) or larger wire.
2. Remove the grounding screw from the grounding terminal on the right side of the chassis.
3. Attach the ring lug to the grounding terminal.
4. Tighten the grounding screw to 0.5 N · m (4.4 lb · in.) of torque.
