PXIe-5842 Mounting Guidelines

To ensure optimal thermal performance, follow the placement, clearance, and mounting guidelines for the product platform.

Notice Failure to follow the mounting instructions in the product documentation can cause temperature derating.
Notice This product is intended for use in indoor applications only.

To understand the placement requirements of the chassis, such as required clearances, refer to the user manual for your PXI chassis. For environmental requirements for storage and operation, refer to the chassis specifications.

Note The environmental requirements of modules within the chassis may differ from those of the chassis. Similarly, the requirements of the installed modules may differ from each other, and any devices connected to the modules within the chassis may have different requirements of their own. Consult the relevant documentation for all equipment within and connected to the chassis to understand the aggregate mounting and environmental requirements of the system.

Chassis placement must also facilitate making a safety ground connection, if the user manual for your chassis indicates this is required.

To understand more specific aspects of rack mounting the PXI chassis, such as installation procedures, refer to the documentation included with the rack mount kit for your chassis or available on ni.com.
