Restoring A Backup Image To The Di Driver System Controller - National Instruments NI DIDS-2103 User Manual

3.2.5 Restoring A Backup Image
To The DI Driver System Controller
If the USER1 and USER FPGA LEDs are not blinking at all, please try pressing and immediately releasing the
controller reset button. Wait 1 minute for the LEDs to start blinking. If they do not start blinking, follow the instructions
below for restoring a backup image zip file to the system controller. If a system backup image is not available, please
contact the National Instruments support team.
A DI Driver System software backup image can be created by following the instructions in Backing Up the DI
Driver System Software Image section. It is recommended this procedure be performed after the system has been
calibrated and ready for deployment.
WARNING: Restoring a software image to the system controller will overwrite the entire system hard drive. If a
critical calibration file is stored on the controller, it should be retrieved before restoring the backup image. Step 1
below provides the optional instructions for retrieving the calibration file.
NOTE: The system controller network interface settings are not changed by restoring the software image. The DI
Driver System must be in static IP address mode for the backup to restore correctly. For more information
on changing your system to static IP mode see Changing The Network Settings Of The DI Driver System.
1. Copy any saved calibration files from the cRIO controller to the host. This can be accomplished either using the
SCM Calibration Manager or using an FTP client. To use SCM Calibration Manager, from the SCM console, select
Calibration Manager from the Calibration menu.
Use the Open Directory button to select a directory on the host PC, and highlight files before transferring them by
using the arrows to move calibration files between the host PC and the cRIO controller.
