cRIO-9068 Power LEDs

LED Color LED Pattern Indication
Green Solid The device is powered from the V1 input.
Yellow Solid The device is powered from the V2 input.
— Off The device is powered off.

STATUS LED Indicators

LED Pattern Indication
Blinks twice and pauses

The cRIO-906x is in safe mode. Software is not installed, which is the factory default state, or software has been improperly installed on the device.

An error can occur when an attempt to upgrade the software is interrupted. Reinstall software on the device. Refer to the Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) Help for information about installing software on the cRIO-906x.

Blinks three times and pauses

The cRIO-906x is in user-directed safe mode, or the device is in install mode to indicate that software is currently being installed.

This pattern may also indicate that the user has forced the cRIO-906x 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 cRIO-906x is in safe mode. The software has crashed twice without rebooting or cycling power between crashes.
Continuously blinks The cRIO-906x has not booted into NI Linux Real-Time. The device either booted into an unsupported operating system, was interrupted during the boot process, or detected an unrecoverable software error.
On momentarily The cRIO-906x is booting. No action required.
Off The cRIO-906x is in run mode. Software is installed and the operating system is running.

User LEDs

You can define the USER1 and USER FPGA1 LEDs to meet the needs of your application.

LED LED Color Description
USER1 Green (cRIO-906x)

Use LabVIEW Real-Time to define the USER1 LED with the RT LEDs VI. For more information about the RT LEDs VI, refer to the LabVIEW Help.

Yellow (cRIO-9068 only)
USER FPGA1 Green (cRIO-906x) Use the LabVIEW FPGA Module and NI-RIO Device Drivers software to define the USER FPGA1 LED. Use the USER FPGA1 LED to help debug your application or retrieve application status. Refer to the LabVIEW Help for information about programming this LED.
Yellow (cRIO-9068 only)

Ethernet LED Indicators

LED LED Color LED Pattern Indication
ACT/LINK — Off LAN link not established
Green Solid LAN link established
Flashing Activity on LAN
10/100/1000 Yellow Solid 1,000 Mb/s data rate selected
Green Solid 100 Mb/s data rate selected
— Off 10 Mb/s data rate selected
