Configuring DIP Switches

Both DIP switches are in the OFF position when the chassis is shipped from National
Instruments.

SAFE MODE Switch

Safe mode is for troubleshooting, updating configuration, and installing software. Keep the
SAFE MODE switch in the OFF position during normal operation. If the switch is in the ON
position at startup, the NI 9148 launches only the essential services required for updating
configuration and installing software.
Push the SAFE MODE switch to the ON position if the software on the chassis is corrupted.
Even if the switch is not in the ON position, if there is no software installed on the chassis, the
chassis automatically boots into safe mode. The SAFE MODE switch must be in the ON
position to reformat the drive on the chassis. Refer to the Measurement & Automation
Explorer Help for more about installing software and reformatting the drive.

IP RESET Switch

Push the IP RESET switch to the ON position and reboot the chassis to reset the IP address
and other TCP/IP settings of the chassis to the factory defaults. Refer to the
12 | ni.com | NI 9148 User Manual
For information about configuring network settings, refer to the
