RIO looses network connectivity after format disk

[AMP12]

Hello all,

I have two 9014 cRIOs that I performed a format disk on after some trouble shooting activites.  Now I can not connect to either of them.  Each is acting slightly different.  I chose to reset the network adapter to its factory default settings during the disk format.

RIO A - After format disk, the RIO will power up and show up as a unit in MAX.  However, very shortly after coming onlilne, the #3 LED starts blinking orange twice.  After this point I can't communicate with it.  Sometimes, it will remain online on MAX, sometimes it will drop there after.  When it does stay online, it doesn't allow me to run the formate disk again, load software, run the RAD utility, ... nothing.

RIO B - After format disk, the RIO is not found in MAX at all.  #3 LED shows solid orange for about 4-5 minutes straight.  After that, it seems that it attempts a reboot, and again imediately go to solid orange.

I've tried booting into safe mode, and resetting IP address.  Nothing is letting me in at this point.  Also, both were performed while wired into the eithernet port and the formate disk activity completely finished, so I don't see how anything could have been interupted in mid process. Is there anything else I can do at this point?  I appreciate any help.

Hello AMP12

How are you connecting the cRIO to the computer trough a router or directly to the computer with at crossover cable?

Have you tried to add the cRIO to MAX with the default IP address when it is reset? The IP address should be 0.0.0.0 according to the manual page 9 and 12.

Last but not the least we could check the IP address that the cRIO currently has with the console out port. Here is a link that explains how to do this.

There is one option to view your RT screen of cRIO which is known as RT Console and know error messages in RT system.
