Caution Your installation must meet the following requirements for space and
cabling clearance, as shown in Figures 1-10 and 1-11:
• Allow 25.4 mm (1.00 in.) on the top and the bottom of the controller for air

Mounting the cDAQ Controller on a Panel
Directly mounting the cDAQ controller to a rigid surface is the only recommended method for
applications that are subject to high shock and vibration.
You can mount the cDAQ controller without a kit by screwing through a panel into the holes on
the back of the controller. Use M4 screws with a length suitable for the depth of the panel.
You can use the NI panel mount kit to mount the cDAQ controller on a flat surface. Refer to the
Cables and Accessories section for the accessory part number for your cDAQ controller.
Complete the following steps.
1. Fasten the mounting plate to the controller using a number 2 Phillips screwdriver and
M4 × 10 screws
