1. Remove the MINI-COMBICON plug from connector J3 of the
NI sbRIO device. Refer to Figure 4 for the location of J3.
2. Connect the positive lead of the power supply to the V terminal of
the MINI-COMBICON plug.
3. Connect the negative lead of the power supply to the C terminal of
the MINI-COMBICON plug.
4. Re-install the MINI-COMBICON connector in connector J3.
The NI sbRIO device runs a power-on self test (POST) when you apply
power to the device. During the POST, the Power and Status LEDs turn on.
When the Status LED turns off, the POST is complete. If the LEDs do not
behave in this way when the system powers on, refer to the
LED Indications section.
You can configure the device to launch an embedded stand-alone
LabVIEW RT application each time it is booted. Refer to the Running a
Stand-Alone Real-Time Application (RT Module) topic of the LabVIEW
Help for more information.
Table 2 lists the reset options available on NI sbRIO devices. These options
determine how the FPGA behaves when the device is reset in various
conditions. Use the RIO Device Setup utility to select reset options. Access
the RIO Device Setup utility by selecting Start»All Programs»National
Instruments»NI-RIO»RIO Device Setup.

when the device powers on.
Loads the FPGA bit stream from flash to the FPGA when you
reboot the device either with or without cycling power.
1. Right-click the FPGA Target item in the Project Explorer window in
