Safety Guidelines
Caution Do not operate the cRIO-906xin a manner not specified in these operating
instructions. Product misuse can result in a hazard. You can compromise the safety
protection built into the product if the product is damaged in any way. If the product
is damaged, return it to National Instruments for repair.
Safety Guidelines for Hazardous Locations
The cRIO-906xis suitable for use in only Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D, T4 hazardous
locations; Class 1, Zone 2, AEx nA IIC T4 and Ex nA IIC T4 hazardous locations; and
nonhazardous locations. Follow these guidelines if you are installing the cRIO-906xin a
potentially explosive environment. Not following these guidelines may result in serious injury
or death.
Caution Do not disconnect the power supply wires and connectors from the
controller unless power has been switched off.
Caution Substitution of components may impair suitability for Class I, Division 2.
Caution For Zone 2 applications, install the CompactRIO system in an enclosure
rated to at least IP 54 as defined by IEC 60529 and EN 60529.
Caution The USB port requires NI industrial USB cables with locking screws, NI
part number 152166-XX or 15788A-01. The cable must pass through conduit or
cable gland to a nonhazardous location. Do not disconnect the cable unless the
cRIO-906xis powered off or the area is known to be nonhazardous.
Special Conditions for Hazardous Locations Use in Europe
Some chassis have been evaluated as Ex nA IIC T4 Gc equipment under DEMKO Certificate
No. 12 ATEX 1202658X. Each such chassis is marked II 3G and is suitable for use in Zone 2
hazardous locations in ambient temperatures of -20 °C ≤Ta ≤55 °C.
Caution You must ensure that transient disturbances do not exceed 140% of the
rated voltage.
Caution Mount the system in an ATEX certified enclosure with a minimum ingress
protection rating of at least IP 54 as defined in IEC/EN 60529 and use the system in
an environment of not more than Pollution Degree 2.

Mounting the Chassis
In order to obtain the maximum allowable ambient temperature as specified in the
Environmental section of this document, you must mount the chassis horizontally on a flat,
vertical, metallic surface such as a panel or wall. You can mount the chassis directly to the
surface or you can use the NI Panel Mounting Kit. You can also mount the chassis in other
orientations, on a nonmetallic surface, on a 35-mm DIN rail, on a desktop, or in a rack. Mounting
the chassis in these or other configurations can reduce the maximum allowable ambient
temperature and can affect the typical accuracy of modules in the chassis. Figure 2 shows the
chassis mounted horizontally.
Figure 2. cRIO-906xMounted Horizontally
Figures 3 to 5 show the bottom, front, and side views with the dimensions of the chassis.
Note For more information about how different mounting configurations can cause
temperature derating, visit ni.com/info and enter the Info Code criomounting.
Note For more information about typical accuracy specifications for modules, visit
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 25.4 mm (1 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 bottom of the chassis for air circulation,
as shown in Figure 4.
• 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, visit ni.com/info and enter the Info Code
rdcrioconn.

Note For more information about mounting the chassis in environments with high
shock and vibration, visit ni.com/info and enter the Info Code criomounting.
The following sections contain instructions for the mounting methods. Before using any of these
mounting methods, record the serial number from the back of the chassis. You will be unable to
read the serial number after you have mounted the chassis.
Caution Ensure 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 recommends 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 three M4 or number 8 screws appropriate for the
surface, as shown in Figure 6. Screws must be longer than 19 mm (0.75 in.) to pass all the
way through the chassis. National Instruments does not provide these screws with the
chassis.

Mounting the Chassis Using the NI Panel Mounting Kit
You can use the NI panel mounting kit, part number 782863-01, to mount the chassis on a flat
surface. Ensure there is sufficient surface area prior to mounting by referring to the dimensions
shown in Figure 7.
Figure 7. Dimensions of cRIO-906xwith Panel Mounting Plate Installed
Complete the following steps to mount the chassis using the mounting kit.
1. Fasten the panel mounting plate to the chassis using a number 2 Phillips screwdriver and
three M4 ×23 screws, as shown in Figure 8. National Instruments provides these screws
with the panel mounting kit. You must use these screws because they are the correct depth
and thread for the panel mounting plate. Tighten the screws to a maximum torque of
1.3 N · m (11.5 lb · in.).
Figure 8. Installing the Panel Mounting Plate on the cRIO-906x
2. Fasten the panel mounting plate to the surface using the screwdriver and screws that are
appropriate for the surface. The maximum screw size is M5 or number 10.

Caution Ensure that no I/O modules are in the chassis before removing it from the
surface.
Mounting the Chassis on a DIN Rail
You can use the NI 9915 DIN rail mounting kit, part number 779018-01, to mount the chassis
on a standard 35-mm DIN rail. Complete the following steps to mount the chassis on a DIN rail.
1. Fasten the DIN rail clip to the chassis using a number 2 Phillips screwdriver and
two M4 ×25 flathead screws, as shown in Figure 9. National Instruments provides these
screws with the DIN rail mounting kit. Tighten the screws to a maximum torque of
1.3N·m(11.5lb·in.).

2. Insert one edge of the DIN rail into the deeper opening of the DIN rail clip, as shown in
Figure 10.

3. Press down firmly on the chassis to compress the spring until the clip locks in place on the
DIN rail.
Caution Ensure that no I/O modules are in the chassis before removing it from the
DIN rail.
Mounting the Chassis on a Desktop
You can use the NI 9901 desktop mounting kit to mount the chassis on a desktop. You must
install the adapter bracket using two M3 × 20 screws. The adapter bracket and the screws are
included in the kit. Refer to the NI 9901 documentation for information about mounting the
chassis on a desktop.
Installing C Series I/O Modules in the Chassis
Figure 11 shows the mechanical dimensions of C Series I/O modules.
Figure 11. C Series I/O Module, Front and Side View with Dimensions
Complete the following steps to install a C Series I/O module in the chassis.
1. Ensure 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 12. The
module slots are labeled 1 to 8, left to right.
