Mounting the NI 9155

You can mount the chassis horizontally on a flat, vertical, metallic surface

such as a panel or wall. The maximum allowable ambient temperature for

operation in this kind of mounting configuration is 55 °C. You can also

mount the chassis on a DIN rail, on a desktop, or in a rack. However, only

panel or wall mounting as described in this document enables operation at

the maximum allowable ambient temperature. Any other mounting

configuration can also affect the typical accuracy of modules in the chassis.

Figure 2 shows the chassis mounted horizontally.

Figure 2. NI 9155 Mounted Horizontally

Note For more information about how different mounting configurations can cause

temperature derating, go to ni.com/info and enter the Info Code criomounting.

Note For more information about typical accuracy specifications for modules, go to

ni.com/info and enter the Info Code criotypical.

Note Measure the ambient temperature at each side of the chassis, 63.5 mm (2.5 in.) from

the side and 50.8 mm (2 in.) forward from the rear of the chassis, as shown in Figure 3.

Caution Your installation must meet the following requirements for space and cabling

clearance:

• Allow 50.8 mm (2 in.) on the top and the bottom of the chassis for air circulation.

• Allow 50.8 mm (2 in.) in front of modules for cabling clearance for common

connectors, such as the 10-terminal, detachable screw terminal connector, as shown

in Figure 3.

Note For information about the minimum cabling clearance for C Series modules with

other connector types, go to ni.com/info and enter the Info Code rdcrioconn.

Caution Make sure that no I/O modules are in the chassis before mounting it.

Mounting the Chassis Directly on a Flat Surface

Using the Mounting Holes

For environments with high shock and vibration, National Instruments

requires mounting the chassis directly on a flat, rigid surface using the

mounting holes in the chassis. Complete the following steps to mount the

chassis:

1. Use the dimensions shown in Figure 4 to prepare the surface for

mounting the chassis.

2. Align the chassis on the surface.

3. Fasten the chassis to the surface using two M4 or number 8 screws, as

shown in Figure 6. National Instruments does not provide these screws

with the chassis.

Mounting the Chassis on a DIN Rail Using the NI 9915 DIN Rail Mount Kit

Complete the following steps to mount the chassis on a DIN rail using the

NI 9915 DIN rail mount kit.

1. Fasten the DIN rail clip to the chassis using a number 2 Phillips

screwdriver and two M4 ×50 screws. National Instruments provides

these screws with the DIN rail mount kit. Tighten the screws to a

maximum torque of 1.3 N ⋅m (11.5 lb ⋅in.).

Complete the following steps to install a C Series I/O module in the chassis.

1. 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.

2. Align the I/O module with an I/O module slot in the chassis as shown

in Figure 10. The module slots are labeled 1 to 8, left to right.

3. Squeeze the latches and insert the I/O module into the module slot.

4. Press firmly on the connector side of the I/O module until the latches

lock the I/O module into place.

5. Repeat these steps to install additional I/O modules.

Removing I/O Modules from the Chassis

Complete the following steps to remove a C Series I/O module from the

chassis.

1. 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 remove I/O modules.

2. Squeeze the latches on both sides of the module and pull the module

out of the chassis.

Connecting the Chassis to Earth Ground

You must connect the chassis grounding screw to earth ground. Refer to

Figure 4 for the location of the grounding screw. Complete the following

steps to connect to earth ground:

1. Attach a ring lug to a 2.05 mm diameter (12 AWG) or larger wire.

2. Remove the grounding screw from the grounding terminal on the right

side of the chassis.

3. Attach the ring lug to the grounding terminal.

4. Tighten the grounding screw to 0.5 N · m (4.4 lb · in.) of torque.

5. Attach the other end of the wire to earth ground using a method

appropriate for the application.

Note If you use shielded cabling to connect to a C Series I/O module with a plastic

connector, you must attach the cable shield to the chassis grounding terminal using 1.3 mm

diameter (16 AWG) or larger wire. Use shorter wire for better EMC performance.

For more information about earth ground connections, go to ni.com/info

and enter the Info Code earthground.

Wiring Power to the Chassis

The NI 9155 requires an external power supply that meets the

specifications in the Power Requirements section. The NI 9155 filters and

regulates the supplied power and provides power for all of the I/O modules.

You must connect a power supply to at least one pair of V and C terminals.

Optionally, you can connect a second power supply to the other pair of

V and C terminals. The chassis draws power from the power supply with

the higher voltage. The NI 9155 has one layer of reversed-voltage

protection. Complete the following steps to connect a power supply to

the chassis.
