on the front panel. You can remove the film cover before installing the
cRIO-9072/9073/9074.
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.
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.

Panel or wall mounting is the best method for applications that are subject to high shock and
vibration. You can use the NI 9905 panel mount kit to mount the cRIO-9072/9073/9074 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 × 16 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.).

2. Fasten the NI 9905 panel to the wall using the screwdriver and screws that are
appropriate for the wall surface. The maximum screw size is M4 or number 8.

Caution Make sure that no I/O modules are in the chassis before removing it from
the panel.
Mounting the Chassis on a DIN Rail
You can order the NI 9915 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 × 16 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.).

Installing C Series I/O Modules in the Chassis
The following figure shows the mechanical dimensions of C Series I/O modules.
Figure 9. C Series I/O Module, Front and Side View with Dimensions
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 8, left to right.
