Mounting the CompactRIO Reconfigurable

Embedded Chassis

You can mount the chassis on a panel, on a 35 mm DIN rail, on a rack, in an enclosure, or on a desktop. Use the DIN rail mounting method if you already have a DIN rail configuration or if you need to be able to quickly remove the CompactRIO chassis. Use the panel mount method for high shock and vibration applications. Use an enclosure for harsh, dirty, or wet environments.

Caution

If the ambient temperature is 56 °C to 70 °C, you must mount the chassis on a thermally conductive material. For information about how mounting
