desktop mounting kit.

NI 9901 Desktop Kit for cDAQ-9174/9178 Chassis
The NI 9901 desktop mounting kit includes two metal feet you can install on the sides of the
cDAQ-9174/9178 chassis for desktop use. With this kit, you can tilt the cDAQ chassis for
convenient access to the 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 1-5. After removing the screws, replace them with the two M3 × 14 screws included in
the NI 9901 desktop mounting kit.
