NI cRIO-9030 Operating Instructions and Specifications | © National Instruments | 33
Caution To ensure the specified EMC performance, you must use an unshielded
cable with the RS-485 serial port, such as NI part number 184428-01, an isolated 1 m
RJ-50 to DB-9 cable adapter.
Power Connector
Refer to the Wiring Power to the cRIO Controller section and the Power Requirements section
for more information about the power connector.
SD Card Removable Storage
The cRIO controller features an SD card slot that can read from and write to SD cards. Use an
NI-approved SD card to improve the performance and memory integrity of the controller.
LabVIEW usually maps SD cards to the /U, /V, /W, or /X drive, starting with the /U drive if it
is available. Refer to the LabVIEW Help for more information.
Caution You must use the SD card slot cover to protect the SD card in hazardous
locations.
Caution Do not insert or remove SD cards unless power has been switched off or
the area is known to be nonhazardous.
Note Using SD cards that are not approved by NI might invalidate specifications
and result in unreliable performance.
SD Indicator LEDs
The cRIO controller has two LEDs that indicates SD card drive mount status and activity. Refer
to Table 7 for descriptions of each of the LEDs.
Table 7. SD Card LED Indications
LED LED Color LED State Description
SD ACT Yel l ow Off There is no I/O activity on the SD card in
the slot.
Flashing The cRIO controller is performing I/O on
the SD card in the slot. Do not remove the
SD card while this LED is flashing.
SD IN USE Green Off There is no SD card present in the slot or
the cRIO controller has unmounted the SD
card from the operating system. It is safe
