NI RMC-8355 Overview

The NI RMC-8355 is a rugged 1U PC-based controller for remote control of PXI chassis. The

controller provides leading-edge processing power with Intel Xeon 5620 processors, high disk

bandwidth with hardware RAID support, high I/O bandwidth with a PCI Express 2.0 x16 and x8

slot, and up to 48 GB of RDIMM ECC memory per processor.

Safety Information

Caution Before undertaking any troubleshooting, maintenance, or exploratory

procedure, carefully read the following caution notices.

Caution Product functionality can be disrupted if the knurled thumbscrews on the

back of the top cover are subjected to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). To prevent

damage, you must employ industry-standard ESD prevention measures during

installation, maintenance, and operation.

Caution Overloading the circuits may damage supply wiring. Do not exceed the

ratings on the equipment nameplate when connecting equipment to the supply circuit.

Note Tighten the thumbscrew for the top panel cover with a tool after both initial

installation and subsequent access.

Caution To avoid risk of explosion, do not replace the battery (JBAT1) with an

incorrect battery type. Dispose of used batteries according to the battery instructions.

This equipment contains voltage hazardous to human life and safety, and is capable of inflicting

personal injury.

•Chassis Grounding—The NI RMC-8355 requires a connection from the premise wire

safety ground to the NI RMC-8355 chassis ground. The earth safety ground must be

connected during use of this equipment to minimize shock hazards. Refer to the Connecting

Safety Ground section for instructions on connecting safety ground.

•Mechanical Loading—To avoid a hazardous load condition, be sure the mechanical load

is even when rack mounting the equipment.

•Live Circuits—Operating personnel and service personnel must not remove protective

covers when operating or servicing the NI RMC-8355. Adjustments and service to internal

components must be undertaken by qualified service technicians. During service of

this product, the mains connector to the premise wiring must be disconnected. Dangerous

voltages may be present under certain conditions; use extreme caution.

•Explosive Atmosphere—Do not operate the chassis in conditions where flammable gases

are present. Under such conditions, this equipment is unsafe and may ignite the gases or gas

fumes.

NI RMC-8355 Installation Guide |© National Instruments |9

•Parts Replacement—Service this equipment only with parts that are exact replacements,

both electrically and mechanically. Contact National Instruments for replacement part

information. Installation of parts with those that are not direct replacements may cause

harm to personnel operating the chassis. Furthermore, damage or fire may occur if

replacement parts are unsuitable.

•Modification—Do not modify any part of the NI RMC-8355 from its original condition.

Unsuitable modifications may result in safety hazards.

Chassis Cooling Considerations

The NI RMC-8355 is designed to operate on a bench or in an instrument rack. Determine how

you want to use the NI RMC-8355 and follow the appropriate installation instructions.

Caution If installed in a closed or multiunit rack assembly, the rack environment

operating ambient temperature may be greater than room ambient temperature.

Therefore, install the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum

ambient operating temperature (Tma) specified in Appendix A, Specifications, in the

NI RMC-8355 User Manual.

Providing Adequate Clearance

Apertures in the front and rear of the chassis facilitate power supply and motherboard cooling.

Air enters through the front of the chassis and exits through the fans on the rear of the chassis.

Place the NI RMC-8355 on a bench top or in an instrument rack so that the fans (air outlets) and

the air inlet apertures in the front and rear of the chassis have adequate ventilation. Keep other

equipment a minimum of 76.2 mm (3 in.) away from the air outlets on the rear of the chassis.

Installation

Follow these steps to connect devices to the NI RMC-8355:

1. Connect a keyboard and mouse to the appropriate connectors on the NI RMC-8355 rear

panel.

2. Connect the VGA monitor video cable to the VGA connector on the rear panel.

3. (Optional) To boot into LabVIEW RT, refer to the Installing the LabVIEW Real-Time

Module section.

4. Connect the USB and serial devices as necessary to the NI RMC-8355 front and rear panel

ports.

Caution To minimize shock hazard, make sure the electrical power outlet you use

to power the NI RMC-8355 has an appropriate earth safety ground. Refer to the

Connecting Safety Ground section for more information.

Caution Use the DC power cable provided with DC power supplies for VDC input.

10 |ni.com |NI RMC-8355 Installation Guide

5. Connect the AC power cable to the AC inlet on the rear panel and to an AC power outlet.

For more information, refer to the Connecting to Power Source section.

6. For the DC option, connect the DC positronic connector to the DC inlet on the rear panel

and wire to a DC power source.

7. Power on the NI RMC-8355.

8. Verify that the NI RMC-8355 boots. If it does not boot, refer to the What if the NI

RMC-8355 does not boot? section of Chapter 5, Troubleshooting, in the NI RMC-8355

User Manual.

Installing the LabVIEW Real-Time Module

This section explains software installation for the LabVIEW Real-Time Module on your

NI RMC-8355, including the necessary steps to set up your NI RMC-8355 to run the LabVIEW

Real-Time Module.

Note The onboard Ethernet ports on the NI RMC-8355 do not work with the

LabVIEW Real-Time Module. You must use the PCI Express Ethernet board

preinstalled in your system.

Complete the following steps to install the LabVIEW Real-Time Module software.

1. Boot the NI RMC-8355 into the real-time operating system using the USB RT key in the

accessory box. Complete the following steps once the system boots into the Desktop PC

Utility:

a. Select Available Actions»Format»Format Hard disk options.

b. Select (2) Erase all partitions.

c. Select FAT.

d. Type Yes to start formatting the hard disk.

e. Once the format completes, return to the boot menu and select Boot into safe mode.

f. Remove the USB key from the NI RMC-8355.

The RMC automatically boots into LabVIEW Real-Time Module Safe Mode when no

software is installed. Safe Mode loads with the basic real-time operating system and

automatically attempts to connect to the network using DHCP. If DHCP is not available,

the controller connects to the network with a link-local IP address.

Note The remote system must have an IP address assigned to it before you can

perform any additional configuration.

2. Open Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) on another computer in the same

subnet and expand the Remote Systems branch. MAX lists the RMC as

NI-GenericDesktopPC followed by the MAC address

Note The other computer must have LabVIEW, the LabVIEW Real-Time Module,

and any desired drivers installed.
