NI cRIO-9047 - User Manual

GETTING STARTED GUIDE
cRIO-904x
Embedded CompactRIO Controller with Real-Time Processor and
Reconfigurable FPGA
This document describes how to begin using the cRIO-904x.
In this document, the cRIO-9040, cRIO-9041, cRIO-9042, cRIO-9043, cRIO-9045,
cRIO-9046, cRIO-9047, cRIO-9048, and cRIO-9049 are referred to collectively as cRIO-904x.
Note Refer to the device Safety, Environmental, and Regulatory Information
document, shipped with your cRIO-904x controller and available on ni.com/
manuals, for important safety and environmental specifications necessary when
setting up your device.
Unpacking the Kit
Notice To prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) from damaging the device, ground
yourself using a grounding strap or by holding a grounded object, such as your
computer chassis.
1. Touch the antistatic package to a metal part of the computer chassis.
2. Remove the device from the package and inspect the device for loose components or any
other sign of damage.
Notice Never touch the exposed pins of connectors.
Note Do not install a device if it appears damaged in any way.
3. Unpack any other items and documentation from the kit.
Store the device in the antistatic package when the device is not in use.
