Mounting the CompactRIO Reconfigurable
Embedded Chassis
You can mount the chassis horizontally on a flat, vertical surface. The following figure shows
the chassis mounted horizontally.

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-FRC II 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.).

appropriate for the wall surface. The maximum screw size is M4 or number 8.
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.
NI cRIO-FRC II User Manual and Specifications | © National Instruments | 7
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 8. Mounting the Chassis Directly on a Flat Surface
Caution Make sure that no I/O modules are in the chassis before removing it
from the 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.).

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.

Installing C Series I/O Modules in the Chassis
The following figure shows the mechanical dimensions of C Series I/O modules.

(2.78 in.)
22.9 mm
(0.90 in.)
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.
