Akash, I'm sure Eric will be around with more detail, but if things are properly wired I don't really see how this is true.

Both the 24V supply for the cRIO and the 12V supply for the Gaming Adapter are listed as operational down to 4.5V input in the Datasheet.

The Digital Sidecar requires at least 5.5V to run it's 5V supply and 6.7V to run the 6V servo supply. The Analog Breakout requires 6V for normal operation.
