Table 12. STATUS LED Indicators LED Pattern Indication Blinks twice and The cRIO-9063 is in safe mode. Software is not installed, which is the pauses factory default state, or software has been improperly installed on the cRIO-9063. An error can occur when an attempt to upgrade the software is interrupted.
The cRIO-9063 contains a lithium cell battery that stores the system clock information when the cRIO-9063 is powered off. There is only a slight drain on the battery when power is applied to the cRIO-9063 power connector. The rate at which the battery drains when power is disconnected depends on the ambient storage temperature.
You can also mount the cRIO-9063 in other orientations, on a nonmetallic surface, on a 35-mm DIN rail, on a desktop, or in a rack. Mounting the cRIO-9063 in these or other configurations can reduce the maximum allowable ambient temperature and can affect the typical accuracy of modules in the cRIO-9063.
Mounting Requirements Your installation must meet the following requirements for cooling and cabling clearance. Allow 25.4 mm (1.00 in.) on the top and the bottom of the cRIO-9063 for air circulation, as shown in the following figure. 16 | ni.com | NI cRIO-9063 User Manual...
