   cDAQ 9174	NI-DAQmx 9.0.2 and later
   cDAQ 9178	NI-DAQmx 9.0.2 and later
   cDAQ 9179	NI-DAQmx 15.1 and later

3. Make sure that no signals are connected to the c-series modules.
4. Align the c-Series module with the cDAQ Chassis slot.
5. Squeeze both c-series module latches, insert the module in the slot, and press until both latches lock the module in place.
6. Connect the cDAQ Chsasis with the USB Cable to PC. Use the jackscrew to securely attach the USB Cable to the cDAQ Chassis.
7. Connect the power adapter to the cDAQ Chassis and plugpoint to the power socket.  (Only for cDAQ-9174 / 9178 / 9179). Make sure that it meets the specifications listed in the datasheet of the chassis. Turn-on the power supply to the Chassis.
8. Open NI MAX (Measurement & Automation Explorer)

10. Select the Chassis and select the Self-Test in the rightside panel. Self-test performs a brief test to determine successful chassis installation. When the self-test finishes, a message indicates successful verification or if an error occurred. If an error occurs, please contact our support team at support@innovativeinvaders.com

When in use, the cDAQ chassis may become warm to the touch. This is normal.
