Mounting the Chassis
You can mount the chassis horizontally on a flat, vertical, metallic surface
such as a panel or wall. The maximum allowable ambient temperature
for operation in this configuration is 70 °C. Figure 2 shows the chassis
mounted horizontally.

NI 9146 Mounted Horizontally
You can also mount the chassis on a panel or wall in other orientations, on
a non-metallic surface, on a 35 mm DIN rail, on a rack, in an enclosure, or
on a desktop. 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.
