Refer to Figure 1-1 or 1-2 while completing the following assembly steps.
1. (Optional) Mount the cDAQ controller to a panel, wall, rack, or DIN rail, or attach the
desktop mounting kit, as described in the Mounting the cDAQ Controller section.

(16 AWG) or larger wire. Remove the ground screw from
the ground terminal on the front panel. Attach the ring lug to the ground terminal and
tighten the grounding screw to 0.5 N · m (4.4 lb · in.) of torque. Attach the other end of the
wire to chassis safety ground using a method appropriate for the application, as shown in
Figure 1-3. Refer to the Chassis Grounding Screw section for more information about earth
ground.
Note If you use shielded cabling to connect to a C Series module with a plastic
