Overview
This Quick Start is meant to show you how to put together your new X300/310. We will start at the point when you have yet to unpack the boxes and go all the way to being able to ping the device, performing a quick software probe to verify hardware components and finally running a simple FFT demo. This Quick Start does not cover the installation of software on the host computer.
Tools Required
- Philips Screwdriver
- 5/16” wrench
Pre-installed Software
- UHD Latest (http://code.ettus.com/redmine/ettus/projects/uhd/wiki)
- GNU Radio (http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/InstallingGR)

Proper Handling
Daughterboard installation and component verification (Ettus Research recommends you perform the installation with no power to the USRP and using ESD equipment)
Installation Process
Step 1
Unscrew the 2 screws on the top of the USRP and remove cover. (Lift up about 15 degrees and wiggle back as there is a flange on the front part of the cover)
[figure 3]
[figure 4]
[figure 5]
Step 2
Line up the 8 screw holes on the Daughterboard with the USRP Motherboard standoffs (they only go one way).
[figure 6]
[figure 7]
Step 3
After you have aligned the Daughterboard correctly you can press the Daughterboard on to the connectors below them (you will feel them snap into place).
[figure 8]
[figure 9]
Step 4
Put 8 of the screws provided in the daughterboard
[figure 10]
Step 5
Repeat steps 2- 4 for the second Daughterboard
Step 6
It is recommended to connect the bulkhead cables one at a time to avoid confusion. The Daughterboards and front panel of the X300/310 are clearly labeled as to which cable goes where.

[figure 14]
[figure 15]
[figure 16]
Step 7
Repeat step 6 for the other bulkhead cables
[figure 17]
[figure 18]
Step 8
Install USRP cover with screws
[figure 19]
Step 9
Connect the SFP 1 GigE adapter into USRP SFP port 0
[figure 20]
[figure 21]
Step 10
Connect the Gigabit Ethernet cable and power cord provided
[figure 22]
Step 11
Attach any Antennas you may have purchased
[figure 23]
Step 12
On the computer(host) you plan to use to connect to the USRP set the Ethernet adapter to have an IP address of 192.168.10.1 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Connect the other end of the Gigabit Ethernet cable to your computer.
[figure 24]
Step 13
Power on the USRP (button on the front right of the USRP)
Step 14
Ping the device from host computer:
$ ping 192.168.10.2
[figure 25]
Step 15
Assuming you have properly installed the UHD driver (http://code.ettus.com/redmine/ettus/projects/uhd/wiki) you can now run this command in a terminal/command window: $ uhd_usrp_probe. This will tell you about the hardware inside of your USRP. The output will look like the following:
insert uhd_usrp_probe output
UHD FFT
Try the UHD_FFT demo that comes with GNU Radio
1. Connect one antenna to RX2 on the left Daughterboard (Daughterboard A)
[figure 26]
2.From the terminal/command window:
$ uhd_fft
