CMOS Battery

The cRIO-9030 contains a CMOS battery. The CMOS battery is a lithium cell battery that
stores the system clock information when the cRIO-9030 is powered off. There is only a slight
drain on the CMOS battery when power is applied to the cRIO-9030 power connector. The
rate at which the CMOS battery drains when power is disconnected depends on the ambient
storage temperature. For longer battery life, store the cRIO-9030 at a cooler temperature and
apply power to the power connector. Refer to the specifications on
expected battery lifetime.
The
CMOS BATTERY IS DEAD
battery is dead. The cRIO-9030 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. Refer to the specifications on
battery disposal.

File System

LabVIEW mounts USB devices and SD cards to the
symbolic links ,
/u /v
To prevent any file corruption to external storage devices, verify that any file IO operations
with the specific drive finish before removing the device. Refer to the LabVIEW Help for more
information.
The file system of the cRIO-9030 follows conventions established for UNIX-style operating
systems. Other LabVIEW Real-Time targets follow Microsoft Windows-style conventions. In
order to facilitate the porting of applications from those targets, this target supports the
Windows-style home directory. This path is bound to the UNIX-style directory
/C
.
lvuser
Various LabVIEW Real-Time system files which would be accessible from
other LabVIEW Real-Time targets are found in different locations on this target.
UNIX-style file systems support the concept of a symbolic link, which allows access to a file
using an alternative file path. For example, it is possible to link
dynamic libraries are deployed on other LabVIEW Real-Time targets, to
where they are stored on the cRIO-9030, if the application requires this.
