OEM OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS AND SPECIFICATIONS NI sbRIO-9605/9606 Single-Board RIO OEM Devices This document provides dimensions, pinouts, connectivity information, and specifications for the National Instruments sbRIO-9605 and sbRIO-9606. The devices are referred to inclusively in this document as the NI sbRIO-960x. Caution The NI sbRIO-960x must be installed inside a suitable enclosure prior to use.
What You Need to Get Started This section lists the software and hardware you need to start programming the NI sbRIO device. Software Requirements You need a development computer with the following software installed on it. Go to and enter the Info Code ni.com/info rdsoftwareversion for information about software version compatibility.

Mating the NI sbRIO-960x to a RIO Mezzanine Card 1 M3 or 4-40 Standoff or Fastener 3 Example RMC 2 RIO Mezzanine Card (RMC) Connector 4 Mounting Surface Figure 9. NI sbRIO-960x Mating Procedure Note When using the recommended Samtec SEARAY male connector (SEAM-40-03.0-5-06-2-A-K-TR), separate the boards with a 9.65 mm (0.380 in.) standoff, such as NI 153166-01.
Note Users interested in additional processor functionality such as serial, CAN, USB, or Ethernet should contact a local National Instruments representative for custom design opportunities. A non-recurring engineering charge (NRE) may apply. Reserved and unused lines should be left disconnected on RIO Mezzanine Cards.

RMC Power Requirements The RIO Mezzanine Card connector provides power on six pins. The 5 V rail consists of pins 54, 60, 66, and 72, and is the main source of power to a RIO Mezzanine Card. The FPGA_VIO rail consists of pins 234 and 240, and is used to supply I/O power and determine I/O levels for the FPGA I/O pins.

Powering the NI sbRIO Device The NI sbRIO-960x requires an external power supply that meets the specifications in the Power Requirements section. The NI sbRIO-960x filters and regulates the supplied power and provides power for RIO Mezzanine Cards. The NI sbRIO-960x has one layer of reverse-voltage protection.

Understanding Ground Connections The front I/O connector shields, chassis ground bracket, and mounting holes near the front I/O are connected together internally to form chassis ground. Chassis ground is capacitively coupled to digital ground near the power connector. For the best possible ESD protection, connec chassis ground at the mounting holes or the chassis ground bracket to a low inductive earth ground.

Using the System Clock to Provide Data Timestamps At startup, the system clock resets to January 1, 1970, 12:00 a.m. (midnight), unless VBAT is implemented on the RMC. For information about synchronizing the system clock with an SNTP time server on the network at startup, go to and enter the Info Code ni.com/info...
Troubleshooting Network Communication If the NI sbRIO-960x cannot communicate with the network, you can perform the following troubleshooting steps. Hold the Reset button down for 5 s, then release it. The Status LED turns on, then starts blinking three times every few seconds. The device is now in Safe Mode with output from the serial port enabled.
