The following table describes the WLAN Status LED indicators. Table 21. WLAN Status LED Indicators LED Color LED Pattern Indication Green Continuously blinks The cRIO-9032 is attempting to connect to an existing wireless network. Solid The cRIO-9032 is connected to an existing wireless network. Yellow Solid The cRIO-9032 is operating as a wireless access point.
The cRIO-9032 contains a CMOS battery. The CMOS battery is a lithium cell battery that stores the system clock information when the cRIO-9032 is powered off. There is only a slight drain on the CMOS battery when power is applied to the cRIO-9032 power connector. The rate at which the CMOS battery drains when power is disconnected depends on the ambient storage temperature.
CMOS BATTERY IS DEAD battery is dead. The cRIO-9032 still starts, but the system clock is reset to the date and time of the BIOS release. The battery is not user-replaceable. If you need to replace the CMOS battery, contact NI.

BIOS Configuration Resetting the System CMOS and BIOS Settings The cRIO-9032 BIOS configuration information is stored in a nonvolatile memory location that does not require a battery to preserve the settings. Additionally, the BIOS optimizes boot time by saving specific system information to memory backed up by a battery (CMOS).
Use the BIOS setup utility to change configuration settings and to enable special functions. The cRIO-9032 ships with configuration settings that work for most applications, but you can use the BIOS setup utility to change configuration settings to meet the needs of your application.
DC power is lost. Valid values are Stay Off and Turn On. The default value is Turn On. When set to Stay Off, the cRIO-9032 returns to the soft off power state after AC power is restored. When set to Turn On, the cRIO-9032 powers on when DC power is restored.
