Connecting the SCB-8
Complete the following steps to connect and use the SCB-8 with NI hardware.
Install your NI hardware in a chassis. Refer to the hardware documentation for your
product(s) for installation instructions.
1. Remove the four cover screws with a Phillips #1 screwdriver and open the top
cover, as shown in Figure 1.
Caution Refer to the documentation for the hardware you connect
the SCB-8 to for maximum voltage specifications. Using voltages
outside of the specified range could damage the SCB-8 and any
instruments connected to it. NI is not liable for any damage resulting
from using voltages outside of the recommended range.

2. Connect wires to the 0.1 inch dual row header pins either directly or with a
user-supplied 0.1 inch dual row header.
Caution To ensure the EMC performance specified for the
connected hardware, any wires connected to screw terminals that
exit the enclosure must be shielded. NI recommends using a
multiconductor cable with an overall shield. Terminate the cable
shield to one of the PCB mounting screws.
3. Close the top cover and tighten the four cover screws.
4. Remove the protective plastic cover from the Nano-Pitch I/O connector on the
SCB-8, if present, and connect the OCuLink x4 cable to the connector.
5. Slide the included cable retention bracket around the cable assembly and
tighten the screws to the SCB-8, as shown in the following figure.

6. Connect the OCuLink x4 cable to the Nano-Pitch I/O connector on your NI
hardware and secure with the appropriate retention bracket.
When you have finished using the SCB-8, power o any external signals connected
to the SCB-8 before you power o your computer.

Notice Clean the hardware with a so, nonmetallic brush. Make sure that
the hardware is completely dry and free from contaminants before
returning it to service.
Mounting Holes
You can mount the SCB-8, either vertically or horizontally, on a DIN rail in an
industrial environment.
You can purchase a compatible DIN rail kit from NI using the part number
781740-01.
The SCB-8 also has two screw holes for a generic wall mount. These wall mount
holes are designed for use with a #4 or #6 panhead screw with a minimum length of
15.88 mm (0.625 in.).
