4.
Install the power connector on the front panel of the NI 9148 and tighten the connector
screws.
5.
Turn on the power supply.
Powering On the NI 9148
When you apply power to the NI 9148, the chassis runs a power-on self test (POST). During
the POST, the Power and Status LEDs turn on. The Status LED turns off, indicating that the
POST is complete. If the LEDs do not behave in this way when the system powers on, refer to
the
Understanding LED Indications
section.
Chassis Startup Options
The following table lists the startup options available for the NI 9148. These options determine
how the chassis behaves when it starts up in various conditions. Use the RIO Device Setup
utility to select startup options. Access the RIO Device Setup utility by selecting

Startup Options
Behavior
Do Not Autoload VI
Does not load the FPGA bit stream from flash memory.
Autoload VI on device
powerup
Loads the FPGA bit stream from flash memory to the FPGA
when the chassis powers on.
Autoload VI on device reboot
Loads the FPGA bit stream from flash to the FPGA when
you reboot the chassis either with or without cycling power.
Configuring IP Settings
When you power on the NI 9148 for the first time, it boots into safe mode because there is no
software installed on it. This section describes how to configure the IP settings and install
software on the chassis.
1.
Launch MAX on the host computer and expand
Remote Systems
in the MAX
configuration tree. MAX lists the NI 9148 as the model name of the chassis followed by
the serial number, for example,
NI9148-XXXXXXXX
.
The chassis automatically attempts to connect to the network using DHCP. If DHCP is
not available, the chassis connects to the network with a link-local IP address with the
form
169.254.x.x
. You must connect the chassis directly to the host computer to
configure it in this state.
2.
Select the chassis under
Remote Systems
to see the
Network Settings
tab in the middle
pane of MAX.
3.
Enter a name for the chassis in the
Name
field.
