GETTING STARTED GUIDE
NI sbRIO-9607
Single-Board RIO OEM Devices
This document describes how to begin using the NI sbRIO-9607.
Safety Guidelines
Operate the sbRIO-9607 only as described in the user documentation.
Caution The sbRIO-9607 must be installed in a suitable enclosure prior to use.
Caution NI makes no product safety, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), or CE
marking compliance claims for the sbRIO-9607. The end-product supplier is
responsible for conformity to any and all compliance requirements.
Caution Exercise caution when designing an enclosure for the sbRIO-9607.
Auxiliary cooling may be necessary to keep the sbRIO-9607 within the specified
operating temperature range. Refer to the NI sbRIO-9607 Specifications on ni.com/
manuals for more information about the maximum operating temperature rating. For
information and examples regarding factors that can affect thermal performance,
visit ni.com/info and enter the Info Code sbriocooling.
Caution Do not operate the sbRIO-9607 in a manner not specified in this
document. Product misuse can result in a hazard. You can compromise the safety
protection built into the product if the product is damaged in any way. If the product
is damaged, return it to NI for repair.

Safety Voltages
Connect only voltages that are below these limits.
V terminal to C terminal 30 VDC maximum, Measurement Category I
Measurement Category I is for measurements performed on circuits not directly connected to
the electrical distribution system referred to as MAINS voltage. MAINS is a hazardous live
electrical supply system that powers equipment. This category is for measurements of voltages
from specially protected secondary circuits. Such voltage measurements include signal levels,
special equipment, limited-energy parts of equipment, circuits powered by regulated low-
voltage sources, and electronics.
Caution Do not connect the sbRIO-9607 to signals or use for measurements within
Measurement Categories II, III, or IV.
Preparing the Environment
Ensure that the environment in which you are using the sbRIO-9607 meets the following
specifications.

-40 °C to 85 °C
Maximum reported onboard sensor temperature
CPU/FPGA temperature 98 °C
Primary System temperature 85 °C
Secondary System temperature 85 °C
Note Ensure that the local ambient, reported CPU/FPGA, and reported Primary
System temperatures do not exceed any of the maximum temperatures listed in this
document. For more information about how to access the onboard sensors, visit
ni.com/info and enter the Info Code sbriosensors.
Operating humidity (IEC 60068-2-78) 10% RH to 90% RH, noncondensing
Pollution Degree (IEC 60664) 2

Connecting the sbRIO-9607 to Power
The NI sbRIO device requires a 9 VDC to 30 VDC external power supply. The NI sbRIO
device filters and regulates the supplied power and provides power for RMCs.
Note Refer to the Power Requirements section of the NI sbRIO-9607
Specifications for the complete power requirement specifications.
Note Refer to the Power Requirements section of the NI sbRIO-9607 User Manual
for formulas and examples for calculating power requirements for different
configurations and application types.
Note Refer to the Power Requirements section of the NI sbRIO-9607 User Manual
for proper wiring of the power cable assembly.
Complete the following steps to connect a power supply to the device.
Caution Do not mate or unmate the power supply connectors while power is
applied.
1. Ensure that your power supply is powered off.
2. Insert the power connector plug into the power connector receptacle of the NI sbRIO
device until the connector latches into place.
3. Turn on the power supply.
Powering On the NI sbRIO Device
The NI sbRIO device runs a power-on self test (POST) when you apply power to the device.
During the POST, the Power and Status LEDs turn on. When the Status LED turns off, the
POST is complete. If the LEDs do not behave in this way when the system powers on, refer to
the STATUS LED Indicators section.
Connecting the sbRIO-9607 to the Host Computer
Complete the following steps to connect the sbRIO-9607 to the host computer using the RJ-45
Ethernet port.
1. Power on the host computer.
2. Connect the sbRIO-9607 to the host computer using a standard Category 5 (CAT-5) or
better shielded, twisted-pair Ethernet cable.
Caution To prevent data loss and to maintain the integrity of your Ethernet
installation, do not use a cable longer than 100 m.
The first time you power up the device, it attempts to initiate a DHCP network
connection. If the device is unable to initiate a DHCP connection, it connects to the
network with a link-local IP address with the form 169.254.x.x. After the device has
NI sbRIO-9607 Getting Started Guide | © National Instruments | 5

powered up, you must install software on the device and configure the network settings in
MAX.
Note Installing software may change the network behavior of the device. For
information about network behavior by installed software version, visit ni.com/
info and enter the Info Code ipconfigcrio.

Troubleshooting the sbRIO-9607
The sbRIO-9607 is Not Communicating with the
Network
• Ensure that the Ethernet connections between the sbRIO-9607 and the host computer and
the Ethernet connections between the host computer and the router are secure.
• Ensure that you have the correct version of NI CompactRIO Device Drivers installed on
the host computer. Visit ni.com/info and enter the Info Code softwareversion for the
minimum supported versions of LabVIEW and NI CompactRIO Device Drivers.
Tip If you have recently upgraded LabVIEW, you must reinstall NI
CompactRIO Device Drivers.
• Temporarily disable any network firewalls or other security software.
Configure the IP and other network settings by completing the following steps.
1. Use a standard Category 5 (CAT-5) or better shielded, twisted-pair Ethernet cable to
connect the sbRIO-9607 Ethernet port to a host computer. The sbRIO-9607 attempts to
initiate a DHCP network connection at powerup.

LED Pattern Indication
Blinks twice and
pauses
The sbRIO-9607 is in safe mode. Software is not installed, which is the
factory default state, or software has been improperly installed on the
sbRIO-9607.
An error can occur when an attempt to upgrade the software is
interrupted. Reinstall software on the sbRIO-9607. Refer to the
Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) Help for information
about installing software on the sbRIO-9607.
Blinks three times
and pauses
The sbRIO-9607 is in user-directed safe mode, or the sbRIO-9607 is in
install mode to indicate that software is currently being installed.
This pattern may also indicate that the user has forced the sbRIO-9607
to boot into safe mode by pressing the reset button for longer than five
seconds or by enabling safe mode in MAX. Refer to the Measurement
& Automation Explorer (MAX) Help for information about safe mode.
Blinks four times
and pauses
The sbRIO-9607 is in safe mode. The software has crashed twice
without rebooting or cycling power between crashes.
This usually indicates that the sbRIO-9607 has run out of memory.
Review your LabVIEW Real-Time application to resolve any memory
leaks.
Continuously blinks The sbRIO-9607 has not booted into NI Linux Real-Time. The
sbRIO-9607 either booted into an unsupported operating system, was
interrupted during the boot process, or detected an unrecoverable
software error.
On momentarily The sbRIO-9607 is booting. No action required.
Off The sbRIO-9607 is in run mode. Software is installed and the
operating system is running.
