Chapter 1 Getting Started with the cDAQ Chassis
NI 9901 Desktop Kit for NI cDAQ-9184/9188 Chassis
The NI 9901 desktop mounting kit includes two metal feet you can install on the sides of the
cDAQ chassis for desktop use. With this kit, you can tilt the cDAQ chassis for convenient access
to the I/O module connectors. When you install the two metal feet, the two existing screws on
the back side and I/O end of the chassis must be removed, as shown in Figure 1-7. After
removing the screws, replace them with the screws included in the NI 9901 desktop mounting
kit. The NI cDAQ-9184 uses two M3 × 20 screws. The NI cDAQ-9188 uses two M3 × 14
screws.

You must mount the chassis before installing the C Series I/O modules.
Mounting the cDAQ Chassis on a Panel
Caution To maintain product performance and accuracy specifications when the
ambient temperature is between 45 and 55 °C, you must mount the chassis to a metal
panel or surface using the screw holes or the panel mount kit. Measure the ambient
temperature at each side of the CompactDAQ system 63.5 mm (2.5 in.) from the side
and 25.4 mm (1 in.) from the rear cover of the system. For further information about
mounting configurations, go to
ni.com/info and enter the Info Code
cdaqmounting.
You can use a panel mount kit to mount the cDAQ chassis on a panel, or mount directly to the
panel with your own screws. For kit accessory ordering information, refer to the pricing section
of your cDAQ chassis product page at
ni.com.
