• Socket driver, 6 mm
• Thermal interface material
Note Eight M3 nuts are included with sbRIO-9684 mounting hardware. These M3
nuts are provided to secure the board assembly for temporary mounting
configurations where holes are not tapped into the mounting surface. To prevent
possible damage to the device, use caution when installing the M3 nuts.
Installing the Thermal Kit and the sbRIO-9607
Complete the following steps to install the sbRIO Thermal Kit and the sbRIO-9607.
1. Prepare the mounting surface by tapping holes according to the Surface Mounting
Dimensions.
2. Install the heat spreader to the mounting surface or use the aluminum plate to mount the
heat spreader.
a) Apply a thermal interface material, such as grease, to the flat side of the heat
spreader.
b) Align the heat spreader with the tapped holes for the sbRIO-9607. Refer to Figure 5,
Installing the sbRIO-9607, for orientation.
c) Fasten the four M3×16 mm, M-F standoffs through the heat spreader to the tapped
holes for the sbRIO-9607.
Tip Tighten all standoffs and screws to a maximum torque of 0.56 N · m
(5 lb · in.).

3. Attach cables to the sbRIO-9607.
a) Attach a data cable to the sbRIO-9607 RS232 connector.
b) Attach a data cable to the sbRIO-9607 CAN connector.
c) Attach the power cable to the sbRIO-9607 power connector.
4. Apply the gap pad to the sbRIO-9607. Refer to the Thermal Kit for NI
sbRIO-9607/9627/9637 Installation and Specifications Manual for information about gap
pad placement.
5. Align the sbRIO-9607 with the heat spreader.
6. Fasten the four M3×9.65 mm, M-F standoffs through the sbRIO-9607 to the M3×16 mm,
M-F standoffs.
