Frequently Asked Questions
Nuvo-5000E/P models use an LGA1151 socket and support 6th-Gen Intel Core i7/i5/i3, Pentium, and Celeron processors, ranging from the Celeron G3900 up to the Core i7-6700. Both standard (up to 65W TDP) and low-power TE variants (35W TDP) are supported.
The Nuvo-5000E/P provides:
- 2x Gigabit Ethernet ports (Nuvo-5002E/P) or 6x Gigabit Ethernet ports (Nuvo-5006E/P), via Intel I219-LM and I210-IT controllers
- 1x stacked VGA + DVI-D connector and 2x DisplayPort connectors (supporting 4K2K resolution)
- 4x USB 3.0 ports and 4x USB 2.0 ports
- 3 serial ports: COM1 and COM3 are software-configurable RS-232/422/485, COM2 is RS-232 only
- 1x Mic-in and 1x Speaker-out audio jacks
The system accepts 8~35V DC input via a 3-pin pluggable terminal block. Maximum power consumption depends on installed CPU: 49.2W (2.05A@24V) with a Core i7-6700TE, 47.8W (1.99A@24V) with a Core i5-6500TE, or 39.4W (1.64A@24V) with a Core i3-6100TE.
With 35W TDP CPUs (TE series or Pentium G4400TE), the system operates from -25°C to 70°C. With 65W/51W TDP CPUs, it operates -25°C to 70°C if configured in 35W CPU mode in BIOS, or -25°C to 50°C in full 65W/51W CPU mode. Storage temperature is -40°C to 85°C. The system is CE/FCC Class A certified according to EN 55022 & EN 55024, and also complies with EN 50155:2007.
The system has two DDR4 SODIMM sockets supporting up to 32GB total (using two 16GB DDR4-2133 modules). For storage, it provides 2x Gen3 6Gb/s SATA ports for 2.5" HDD/SSD (supporting RAID 0/1) and 1x full-size mSATA port that shares a socket with mini-PCIe #1.
Yes. The system has two mini-PCIe sockets that can accept WIFI, 3G/4G, or other mini-PCIe modules. The first socket also doubles as an mSATA slot, and the second works with a panel-accessible SIM socket. Multiple SMA antenna apertures are provided on the front and back panels for multi-antenna configurations.
The E and P designations refer to the expansion Cassette type. Nuvo-5002E/5006E include a Cassette with a PCIe x16 slot (running 8-lane Gen3 signals), while Nuvo-5002P/5006P include a Cassette with a 32-bit/33MHz PCI slot instead.
Tested operating systems include Microsoft Windows 7 32-bit/64-bit, Windows 8.1 64-bit, Windows 10 64-bit, OpenSUSE 42.1, Fedora 23, Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS/16.04 LTS, and Debian 8.3. A "Drivers & Utilities DVD" includes a One-Click driver installation utility for Windows. Note that Windows 7 requires manual xHCI driver injection for USB keyboard/mouse support during installation.
The Nuvo-5000E/P Series measures 240 mm (W) x 225 mm (D) x 90 mm (H) and weighs 4.4 kg. It supports wall-mounting (standard, using included brackets) or optional DIN-rail mounting.
The Nuvo-5000E/P supports the following MezIO modules: MezIO-C180-50 and MezIO-C181-50 (8-port RS-232/422/485), MezIO-D220-50 and MezIO-D230-50 (isolated digital I/O), MezIO-G4P (PoE+ ports, requires a PoE-capable system), MezIO-G4 (GigE ports), and MezIO-U4-50 (USB 3.0 ports). MezIO-V20 ignition control is supported on Nuvo-5000LP but not listed as compatible with the Nuvo-5000E/P (the MezIO-V20-EP variant applies instead).
How-to Guides
- Disassemble the Nuvo-5000E/P chassis by removing the Cassette, front/back panel hex bolts, and bottom cover to expose the PCBA.
- Tilt the SODIMM module and insert it into the SODIMM socket.
- Press it down firmly until the clamps of the socket snap into the latching position of the SODIMM module.
- Repeat to install a second DDR4 SODIMM module if desired. Up to 32GB total is supported using two 16GB modules.
- Put the Nuvo-5000E/P controller upside down and use a Philips screwdriver to loosen three M3 flat-head screws to remove the trapdoor from the bottom cover.
- Remove protective films from the HDD thermal pad (from the accessory box) and place it on the center of the HDD bracket.
- Place the HDD/SSD into the bracket in the correct orientation, push down to contact the thermal pad, and secure it with M3 flat-head screws.
- Pull out the SATA cable inside the chassis and connect it to the HDD/SSD.
- Place the HDD/bracket assembly back into the bottom cover and fix it with three M3 flat-head screws.
- Disassemble the Nuvo-5000 controller to expose the mini-PCIe sockets on the PCBA.
- Tilt the mini-PCIe module and insert it into the mini-PCIe #2 socket (used with the panel-accessible SIM socket), then fix it with one M2.5 P-head screw.
- Attach the IPEX-to-SMA cable to the module.
- Fix the SMA connector of the cable to one of the antenna apertures on the front or back panel.
- Reassemble the front panel, back panel, and bottom cover, then attach the antenna to the SMA connector.
- Insert a SIM card upside down into the SIM socket to enable 3G/4G communication.
- Make sure the external DC power supply is powered off or disconnected before wiring.
- Get the 3-pin pluggable terminal block from the accessory box (fits 12~24 AWG wires).
- Identify the positive and negative contacts of your DC power supply and the terminal block; polarities must match positive-to-positive and ground-to-ground.
- Insert the wires into the correct contacts and tighten the clamping screws with a Philips screwdriver.
- Plug the terminal block into the receptacle on the rear panel and tighten the captive screws with a slotted screwdriver.
Caution: The Nuvo-5000E/P accepts 8~35 VDC. Supplying a voltage over 35V or incorrect polarity will damage the system.
- For wall mounting: get two wall-mounting brackets and four M4 screws from the accessory box, fix the brackets to the system, then place the system on a flat surface and fix it with screws (or use the keyhole-shaped holes to suspend it).
- For DIN-rail mounting (optional kit): fix the DIN-rail mounting clip to the bracket using four M4 flat-head screws, then fix the bracket assembly to the system with another four M4 screws.
- Mount the system in the correct orientation for best heat dissipation efficiency.
