Configuring DIP Switches
Figure 14.
DIP Switches
All of the DIP switches are in the OFF (up) position when the NI sbRIO
device is shipped from National Instruments.
SAFE MODE Switch
The position of the SAFE MODE switch determines whether the embedded
LabVIEW Real-Time engine launches at startup. If the switch is in the OFF
position, the LabVIEW Real-Time engine launches. Keep this switch in the
OFF position during normal operation. If the switch is in the ON position
at startup, the NI sbRIO device launches only the essential services
required for updating its configuration and installing software. The
LabVIEW Real-Time engine does not launch.
Push the SAFE MODE switch to the ON position if the software on the
NI sbRIO device is corrupted. Even if the switch is not in the ON position,
if there is no software installed on the device, the device automatically
boots into safe mode. The SAFE MODE switch must be in the ON position
to reformat the drive on the device. Refer to the
Measurement &
Automation Explorer Help
for more about installing software and
reformatting the drive.
