40  | ni.com |  NI cRIO-9030 Operating Instructions and Specifications
Number of DMA channels................................16
Internal Real-Time Clock
Accuracy ...........................................................200 ppm; 40 ppm at 25 °C
CMOS Battery
Typical battery life with power
applied to power connector...............................10 years
Typical battery life in storage up to  25 °C........7.8 years
Typical battery life in storage up to  85 °C........5.4 years
Power Requirements
Caution  You must use a UL Listed ITE power supply marked LPS with the 
cRIO-9030.
Note  Some C Series I/O modules have additional power requirements. For more 
information about C Series I/O module power requirements, refer to the C Series I/O 
module(s) documentation.
Voltage input range............................................9 to 30 V (measured at the NI cRIO-9030 power 
connector)
Maximum power consumption .........................40 W
Note  The maximum power consumption specification is based on a fully populated 
system running a high-stress application at elevated ambient temperature, and with 
all C Series modules and USB devices consuming the maximum allowed power.
Typical standby power consumption.................3.4 W at 24 VDC input
Recommended power supply ...........................100 W, 24 VDC
Typical leakage current from secondary 
power  input (V2) while system is powered 
from primary power input (V1)
At 9 V .......................................................0.4 mA
At 30 V .....................................................1.93 mA
Caution  Do not connect V2 to a DC mains supply or to any supply requiring a 
connecting cable longer than 3 m (10 ft). A DC mains supply is a local DC electricity 
supply network in the infrastructure of a site or building.
