1. Mount the Compact FieldPoint Backplane

You can mount the cFP-BP-xbackplane on a 35 mm DIN rail, on a panel, or in a

standard 19 in. rack. Before using any of these mounting methods, record the serial

number from the back of the backplane.

Each set of mounting instructions in this document includes an instruction to

connect the protective earth (PE) ground terminal on the cFP-BP-xbackplane to

the system safety ground. The backplane PE ground terminal has the following

symbol stamped beside it: . Connect the backplane PE ground terminal to the

system safety ground using 14 AWG (1.6 mm) wire with a ring lug. Use the

5/16 in. panhead screw shipped with the backplane to secure the ring lug to the

backplane PE ground terminal.

Caution Keep in mind these requirements for space and cabling

clearance:

• Allow at least 51 mm (2 in.) all around the backplane for air

circulation.

• Allow 38 mm (1.5 in.) below and 51 mm (2 in.) above the controller

for cabling clearance.

3. Connect the PE ground terminal on the cFP-BP-xto safety ground.

Caution Disconnect power before removing the backplane from the

panel.

Mounting the Backplane on a DIN Rail

NI recommends DIN rail mounting for the cFP-BP-4 only. Use panel mounting

or rack mounting for the cFP-BP-8. The DIN rail mounting kit is NI part

number 778614-01.

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 clip.

2. Insert one edge of the DIN rail into the deeper opening of the DIN rail clip.

3. Press down firmly on the backplane to compress the spring until the clip locks

in place on the DIN rail.

4. Connect the PE ground terminal on the cFP-BP-4 to safety ground.

Caution Disconnect power before removing the backplane from the

DIN rail.

2. Install the cFP-20xx Controller on the Backplane

1. Make sure that no power is connected to the controller.

2. Make sure that the cFP-20xx controller is right side up with the NI logo at

the top, and align the captive screws on the controller with the holes on the

backplane.

3. Seat the card edge at the back of the controller in the card-edge connector on

the backplane.

4. Press the controller firmly to seat it on the backplane.

5. Using a number 2 Phillips screwdriver with a shank of at least 64 mm (2.5 in.)

length, tighten the captive screws to 1.1 N · m (10 lb · in.) of torque.
