The host computer communicates with the device over a standard Ethernet connection. If the host computer is on a network, you must configure the device on the same subnet as the host computer. If neither the host computer nor the device is connected to a network, you can connect the two directly using a crossover cable.
Boot Options 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.
6 NO FPGA Figure 14. DIP Switches All of the DIP switches are in the OFF (up) position when the NI sbRIO device 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.
CONSOLE OUT Switch With a serial-port terminal program, you can use the serial port to read the IP address and firmware version of the NI sbRIO device. Use a null-modem cable to connect the serial port on the device to a computer. Push the CONSOLE OUT switch to the ON position.
The device has detected an unrecoverable error. flashing or solid Format the hard drive on the device. If the problem persists, contact National Instruments.

Integrated Analog Input Connector J7 provides connections for 32 single-ended analog input channels or 16 differential analog input channels. Connector J7 also provides one connection for AI SENSE and nine connections for AI GND. Refer to the I/O and Other Connectors on the NI sbRIO Device section for a pinout of connector J7.

Referenced Single-Ended (RSE) Measurements You can use an RSE measurement configuration to take measurements on 32 channels when all channels share a common ground. Figure 19 shows how to make an RSE analog input connection for a floating signal. National Instruments does not recommend making an RSE connection for a ground-referenced signal.
