Mounting the Compact FieldPoint Backplane
You can mount the cFP-BP-x backplane on a 35 mm DIN rail, on a panel,
or in a standard 19 in. rack. NI recommends DIN rail mounting for the
cFP-BP-4 only. Use panel mounting or rack mounting for the cFP-BP-8.
Use the panel mounting method for high shock and vibration applications.
Before using any mounting method, record the serial number from the back
of the backplane. You will be unable to read the serial number after you
have mounted 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-x
backplane to the system safety ground. The backplane PE ground terminal
