Frequently Asked Questions
The Nuvo-7000LP front panel provides:
- 4x USB 3.1 Gen2 (10Gbps) ports
- 4x USB 3.1 Gen1 (5Gbps) ports
- 1x VGA connector (up to 1920x1200)

On the rear panel: 1x MezIO™ expansion port, a 4-pole 3.5mm headphone/microphone jack, 4x COM ports (COM1-4), a 3-pin terminal block for DC/ignition input, and a 3-pin remote on/off control connector.
The system accepts 8~35VDC via a 3-pin pluggable terminal block, which also supports ignition signal input. Supplying voltage over 35V will damage the system.
Maximum power consumption depends on the installed CPU (35W TDP mode):
- i7-8700T: 72W (Max.) @ 24V
- i5-8500T: 68.4W (Max.) @ 24V
- i3-8100T: 62.64W (Max.) @ 24V
With a 35W CPU, operating temperature is -25°C to 70°C. With a 65W CPU, it is -25°C to 70°C when configured for 35W TDP, or -25°C to 50°C when configured for 65W TDP. Storage temperature is -40°C to 85°C, humidity 10%~90% non-condensing.
The system is rated for MIL-STD-810G vibration (Method 514.6, Category 4) and shock (Method 516.6, Procedure I, Table 516.6-II), and carries CE/FCC Class A EMC compliance (EN 55032 & EN 55024) and UL62368-1/IEC62368-1 safety certification.
Note: for i7-8700/i7-9700E running at 65W mode, operating temperature is limited to 50°C and thermal throttling may occur under sustained full load. For sub-zero operation, a wide-temperature HDD or SSD is required.
Storage interfaces include:
- 1x front-accessible, hot-swappable 2.5" HDD/SSD tray (up to 9.5mm thickness)
- 1x internal SATA port for 2.5" HDD/SSD (up to 15mm thickness)
- RAID 0/1 support combining the internal drive and hot-swap tray
- 1x M.2 2280 M key socket (PCIe Gen3 x4) for NVMe SSD or Intel® Optane™ memory
- 1x full-size mSATA port (mux with mini-PCIe)
Memory: up to 64GB DDR4 2666/2400 SDRAM across two SODIMM slots (each slot supports up to 32GB).
Expansion: 1x full-size mini PCI Express socket with internal SIM socket (mux with mSATA), 1x M.2 2242 B key socket with dual front-accessible SIM sockets, and 1x MezIO™ expansion port for Neousys MezIO™ modules.
The system has been tested with:
- Microsoft Windows 10 (x64)
- Fedora 29
- Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS & Ubuntu 18.04.0 LTS
For other Linux distributions, the kernel should be upgraded to 4.15.18 or later. On Linux, users may need to manually compile/install drivers for Intel graphics or the I210 GbE controller. Graphics driver and RAID functionality may not be fully implemented on some Linux distributions.
A "Drivers & Utilities" DVD is included, offering one-click automatic driver installation for Windows, or drivers can be installed manually in a specified sequence (chipset, graphics, audio, LAN, ME).
Dimensions: 240 mm (W) x 225 mm (D) x 79 mm (H). Weight: 3.1 kg. Mounting: wall-mounting (standard) or DIN-rail mounting (optional).
Yes. The system has a mini-PCIe socket (mux with mSATA) with an internal SIM socket, and an M.2 2242 B key socket with dual front-accessible Micro-SIM (3FF) sockets, supporting installation of 3G/4G modules. Dual SIM functionality is only available when a Sierra Wireless EM7455/7430 module is installed; for other 4G modules, SIM slot 1 is the default functioning slot. SMA antenna apertures are available on the front and rear panels.
The Nuvo-7000LP features a low-profile chassis (79 mm height) and a front-accessible, hot-swappable 2.5" HDD/SSD tray, which is unique to the LP series. In contrast, the Nuvo-7000E/P have a 90 mm chassis height with PCIe or PCI expansion Cassette modules, and the Nuvo-7000DE has a 110.5 mm chassis height with dual PCIe Cassette slots. The LP series does not include a Cassette expansion module.
The Nuvo-7006LP-PoE variant supports optional IEEE 802.3at PoE+ as a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) on GbE ports 3~6, with a 100W total power budget and up to 25W delivered per port. The 2-port Nuvo-7002LP does not include PoE+.
How-to Guides
- Pull the handle on the 2.5" external hot-swappable slot to open it.
- With the label side facing upward, insert the SATA connector side of the 2.5" HDD/SSD into the slot first. You may feel resistance when the SATA connectors meet; push firmly until the drive is fully inserted.
- Push the handle into the 2.5" slot until it snaps into position. A key (provided in the accessory box) can be used to lock the external slot.
Note: the hot-swap tray supports up to 9.5mm thickness HDD/SSD.
- Refer to the section for disassembling the system to gain access to internal components.
- Locate the two SO-DIMM memory module slots on the motherboard.
- Insert the gold fingers of the module into the slot at a 45-degree angle, then push down to clip the module into position.
- Push the memory module down until it is fully clipped in.
- Repeat for the second module if needed.
- Reinstall the system enclosure and panel when done.
- Refer to the section for disassembling the system; you may not need to completely dismantle the system to gain access to the M.2 slot.
