Removing I/O Modules from the Chassis
Complete the following steps to remove a C Series I/O module from the
chassis.
1. Make sure that no I/O-side power is connected to the I/O module. If the
system is in a nonhazardous location, the chassis power can be on
when you remove I/O modules.
2. Squeeze the latches on both sides of the module and pull the module
out of the chassis.
Connecting the Chassis to a Network
Connect the chassis to an Ethernet network using RJ-45 Ethernet port 1 on
the controller front panel. Use a standard Category 5 (CAT-5) or better
shielded, twisted-pair Ethernet cable to connect the chassis to an Ethernet
hub, or use an Ethernet crossover cable to connect the chassis directly to a
computer.
Caution To prevent data loss and to maintain the integrity of your Ethernet installation,
do not use a cable longer than 100 m.
If you need to build your own cable, refer to the Cabling section for more
information about Ethernet cable wiring connections.
The first time you power up the chassis, the BIOS network settings
determine the initial IP settings and other network behavior. After powerup,
you must install software on the chassis and configure the network settings
in Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX).
Note Installing software may change the network behavior of the chassis. For information
about network behavior by installed software version, go to ni.com/info and enter the
Info Code ipconfigcrio.
The BIOS network settings of the cRIO-9072/3/4 depend on the part
number of the chassis. The part number is located on the bottom of the
chassis.
BIOS Network Settings of cRIO-9072/3/4
with Part Number Beginning 192172
If the part number of the cRIO-9072/3/4 begins with 192172, the IP
address, subnet mask, DNS address, gateway, and Time Server IP are all
set to 0.0.0.0 at powerup.
The host computer communicates with the chassis over a standard Ethernet
connection. If the host computer is on a network, you must configure
the chassis on the same subnet as the host computer. If neither the host
computer nor the chassis is connected to a network, you can connect the
two directly using a crossover cable.
If you want to use the chassis on a subnet other than the one the host
computer is on, first connect the chassis on the same subnet as the host
computer. Use DHCP to assign an IP address or reassign a static IP address
for the subnet where you want it to be and physically move it to the other
subnet.
BIOS Network Settings of cRIO-9072/3/4
with Part Number Beginning 198944
If the part number of the cRIO-9072/3/4 begins with 198944, the chassis
attempts to initiate a DHCP network connection at powerup. If the chassis
is unable to initiate a DHCP connection, it connects to the network with a
link-local IP address with the form 169.254.x.x.
The host computer communicates with the chassis over a standard Ethernet
connection. If neither the host computer nor the chassis is connected to a
network, you can connect the two directly using a crossover cable.
Wiring Power to the Chassis
The cRIO-9072/3/4 requires an external power supply that meets the
specifications in the Power Requirements section. The cRIO-9072/3/4
filters and regulates the supplied power and provides power for all of
the I/O modules. The cRIO-9072/3/4 has one layer of reverse-voltage
protection. Complete the following steps to connect a power supply to
the chassis.
1. Connect the positive lead of the power supply to the V terminal of the
COMBICON power connector shipped with the cRIO-9072/3/4, and
tighten the terminal screw. Figure 11 shows the terminal screws, which
secure the wires in the screw terminals, and the connector screws,
which secure the power connector on the front panel.

Figure 11. COMBICON Power Connector
2. Connect the negative lead of the power supply to one of the C terminals
of the power connector and tighten the terminal screw.
3. Optionally, you can connect the positive lead of another power supply
to the other V terminal and the negative lead to one of the C terminals.
4. Install the power connector on the front panel of the cRIO-9072/3/4
and tighten the connector screws.
Caution The C terminals are internally connected to each other.
Powering On the cRIO-9072/3/4
When you apply power to the cRIO-9072/3/4, the controller runs a
power-on self test (POST). During the POST, the Power and Status LEDs
turn on. The Status LED turns off, indicating that the POST is complete. If
the LEDs do not behave in this way when the system powers on, refer to
the Understanding LED Indications section.
You can configure the cRIO-9072/3/4 to launch an embedded stand-alone
LabVIEW RT application each time you boot the controller. Refer to the
Running a Stand-Alone Real-Time Application (RT Module) topic of the
LabVIEW Help for more information.

Using the Internal Real-Time Clock
The system clock of the cRIO-9012/9014 is synchronized with the internal
high-precision real-time clock at startup. This synchronization provides
timestamp data to the controller. You can also use the internal real-time
clock to correct drift of the system clock. Refer to the Internal Real-Time
Clock specification in the Specifications section for the accuracy
specifications of the real-time clock.
Using the SMB Connector for Digital I/O
(cRIO-9074 Only)
You can use the SMB connector of the cRIO-9074 to connect digital
devices to the controller. For example, if you connect the pulse-per-second
output of a GPS device to the SMB connector of the cRIO-9074, you can
use the GPS device to correct for drift of the system clock.
For software that supports GPS drift-correction and other digital I/O
through the SMB connector, go to ni.com/info and enter the Info Code
criosmb.

Configuring DIP Switches
Figure 13. DIP Switches
All of the DIP switches are in the OFF position when the chassis is shipped
from National Instruments.
SAFE MODE Switch
The position of the SAFE MODE switch determines whether the embedded
LabVIEW Real-Time engine launches at startup. If the switch is in the OFF
position, the LabVIEW Real-Time engine launches. Keep this switch in the
OFF position during normal operation. If the switch is in the ON position
at startup, the cRIO-9072/3/4 launches only the essential services required
for updating its configuration and installing software. The LabVIEW
Real-Time engine does not launch.
If the software on the controller is corrupted, you must put the controller
into safe mode and reformat the controller drive. You can put the controller
into safe mode by powering it up either with the SAFE MODE switch in
the ON position or with no software installed on the drive. Refer to the
Measurement & Automation Explorer Help for more information about
installing software on a controller and reformatting the drive on the
controller.
CONSOLE OUT Switch
With a serial-port terminal program, you can use the CONSOLE OUT
switch to read the IP address and firmware version of the controller. Use a
null-modem cable to connect the serial port on the chassis to a computer.
Push the switch to the ON position. Make sure that the serial-port terminal
program is configured to the following settings:
9,600 bits per second

version of the chassis. Keep this switch in the OFF position during normal
operation.
IP RESET Switch
Push the IP RESET switch to the ON position and reboot the controller
to reset the IP address and other TCP/IP settings of the controller to the
factory defaults. Refer to the Troubleshooting Network Communication
section for more information about resetting the IP address. You also can
push this switch to the ON position to unlock a chassis that was previously
locked in MAX.
NO APP Switch
Push the NO APP switch to the ON position to prevent a LabVIEWRT
startup application from running at startup. If you want to permanently
disable a LabVIEWRT application from running at startup, you must
disable it in LabVIEW. To run an application at startup, push the NO APP
switch to the OFF position, create an application using the LabVIEW
Application Builder, and configure the application in LabVIEW to launch
at startup. If you already have an application configured to launch at startup
and you push the NO APP switch from ON to OFF, the startup application
is automatically enabled. For more information about automatically
launching VIs at startup and disabling VIs from launching at startup, refer
to the Running a Stand-Alone Real-Time Application (RT Module) topic of
the LabVIEW Help.
USER1 Switch
You can define the USER1 switch for your application. To define the
purpose of this switch in your embedded application, use the RT Read
Switch VI in your LabVIEW RT embedded VI. For more information
about the RT Read Switch VI, refer to the LabVIEW Help.
NO FPGA Switch
Push the NO FPGA switch to the ON position to prevent a LabVIEW
FPGA application from loading at startup. The NO FPGA switch overrides
the CompactRIO reset options described in the Chassis Reset Options
section. After startup you can download to the FPGA from software
regardless of switch position.
Using the RESET Button
Pressing the RESET button resets the processor in the same manner as
cycling power.
Note The FPGA continues to run unless you select the Autoload on Any Device Reset
boot option. Refer to the Chassis Reset Options section for more information.
