  • Page 8 C Series modules. The cRIO-9036 has a primary power input, V1, and a secondary power input, V2. The POWER LED on the cRIO-9036 indicates which power input is in use, as shown in the following table.
  • Page 9 (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-9036. 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 10 Power on the primary power supply and optional secondary power supply. Powering On the cRIO-9036 When you power on the cRIO-9036 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.

    The device driver software automatically detects the cRIO-9036. If the device driver software does not detect the cRIO-9036, verify that you installed the appropriate NI software in the correct order on the host computer. You can also use the Ethernet port to connect directly to the host computer or network.
  • Page 12 Click Next. Select NI Scan Engine from the software add-ons. Select any additional software to install. If you plan on using the cRIO-9036 with the LabVIEW FPGA Module, you can click Next. Click NI Scan Engine if you plan on using the cRIO-9036 without the LabVIEW FPGA Module.
  • Page 13: 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-9036 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.
