For environments with high shock and vibration, NI recommends mounting the NI 9145 directly on a flat, rigid surface using the mounting holes in the NI 9145.

What to Use

  • NI 9145
  • Screwdriver, Phillips #2
  • M4 or number 8 screw (x2), user-provided, longer than 19.0 mm (0.75 in.) to pass all the way through the NI 9145

What to Do

Complete the following steps to mount the NI 9145 directly on a flat surface.



  1. Prepare the surface for mounting the NI 9145 using the Surface Mounting Dimensions.
  2. Align the NI 9145 on the surface.
  3. Fasten the NI 9145 to the surface using the M4 or number 8 screws appropriate for the surface. Tighten the screws to a maximum torque of 1.3 N · m(11.5 lb · in.).
