maximum torque of 0.75 N · m (6.7 lb · in.) using a #1 Phillips screwdriver. Do not
overtighten.

USER1 Button

The general-purpose USER1 button is user defined. You can use the system hardware property

Chassis Grounding Screw

For EMC compliance, the cDAQ controller must be connected to earth ground through the
chassis ground, shown in Figures 1-1 and 1-2.
The wire should be 1.31 mm
(5 ft). Attach the wire to the earth ground of the facility's power system. For more information
about earth ground connections, go to
If you use shielded cabling to connect to a C Series module with a plastic
Note
connector, you must attach the cable shield to the chassis grounding terminal using
1.31 mm

CMOS Battery and CMOS Reset Button

The cDAQ controller contains a CMOS battery, a lithium cell battery that stores the system
clock information when the controller is powered off. There is only a slight drain on the CMOS
battery when power is applied to the cDAQ controller power connector. The rate at which the
CMOS battery drains when power is disconnected depends on the ambient storage temperature.
For longer battery life, store the cDAQ controller at a cooler temperature. Refer to the CMOS
Battery section of the specifications document for your cDAQ controller for the expected battery
lifetime.
The
CMOS BATTERY IS DEAD
battery is dead. The controller still starts, but the system clock is reset to the date and time of the
BIOS release. The battery is not user replaceable. If you need to replace the CMOS battery,
contact National Instruments.

Resetting the System CMOS and BIOS Settings

The cDAQ controller BIOS configuration information is stored in a nonvolatile memory
location that does not require a battery to preserve the settings. Additionally, the BIOS optimizes
boot time by saving specific system information to memory backed up by a battery (CMOS).
