  • Page 9 C Series modules. The cRIO-9037 has a primary power input, V1, and a secondary power input, V2. The POWER LED on the cRIO-9037 indicates which power input is in use, as shown in the following table.
  • Page 10 (24 VDC, 5 A, 100 VAC to 120 VAC/200 VAC to 240 VAC input) What to Do Complete the following steps to connect a power supply to the cRIO-9037. Ensure that your power supply is powered off. Install the ferrite on the negative and positive leads of the power supply, as shown in the following figure.
  • Page 11 Power on the primary power supply and optional secondary power supply. Powering On the cRIO-9037 When you power on the cRIO-9037 for the first time, the device boots into safe mode. The POWER LED illuminates, the STATUS LED illuminates briefly, and then the STATUS LED blinks twice every few seconds.
  • Page 12 Close the ferrite around the cables. Connecting the cRIO-9037 to the Host Computer Complete the following steps to connect the cRIO-9037 to the host computer using the USB device port. Power on the host computer.
  • Page 13: Setting A System Password

    The default username for the cRIO-9037 is . There is no default admin password for the cRIO-9037, so you must leave the password field blank when logging in until you set a system password. Right-click your system and select Web Configuration.
  • Page 14 Select any additional software to install. If you plan on using the cRIO-9037 with the LabVIEW FPGA Module, you can click Next. Click NI Scan Engine if you plan on using the cRIO-9037 without the LabVIEW FPGA Module. You can use this wizard at anytime to install additional software.
  • Page 15 Configure the IP and other network settings by completing the following steps. Use a USB A-to-B cable to connect the cRIO-9037 USB device port to a host computer. The USB driver creates a virtual network interface card and assigns an IP address to the cRIO-9037 in the format of 172.22.11.
  • Page 16: Verify The System Ip Configuration

    Set a new DHCP connection by holding the RESET button down for 5 seconds. The STATUS LED repeats the same behavior from Step If the cRIO-9037 fails to set a new DHCP address, it assigns itself a link-local IP address. If the DHCP connection is successful and appropriate for your application, skip to Step In MAX, expand your system under Remote Systems.
