using the DIN rail clip, NI part number 778614-01. NI does not recommend
mounting the cFP-BP-8 on a DIN rail. Complete the following steps to
mount the cFP-BP-4 on a DIN rail:
1. Fasten the DIN rail clip to the cFP-BP-4 using a number 2 Phillips
screwdriver and the 8-32 × 5/16 in. countersink screws shipped with
the DIN rail clip(s). These screws have a nylon coating to prevent them
from loosening. Refer to Figure 2-11.
