Mounting the Chassis on a Flat Surface Using the NI 9907 Panel Mount Kit Panel or wall mounting is the best method for applications that are subject to high shock and vibration. You can use the NI 9907 panel mount kit to mount the NI 9157/9159 on a flat surface.
Complete the following steps to install a C Series I/O module in the chassis. Make sure that no I/O-side power is connected to the I/O module. If the system is in a nonhazardous location, the chassis power can be on when you install I/O modules. Align the I/O module with an I/O module slot in the chassis.
