The Nuvo-7160GC accepts 8~35VDC DC input through a 3-pin pluggable terminal block. An optional 280W AC/DC power adapter (PA-280W-ET2, 24V/11.67A) is also available, rated for -30°C to 60°C operation.
Operating temperature depends on CPU/GPU configuration:
- -25°C to 60°C with 35W CPU and 120W GPU

- -25°C to 50°C with 65W CPU and 120W GPU, configured as 65W TDP
For i7-9700E and i7-8700 running at 65W mode, maximum operating temperature is limited to 50°C, and thermal throttling may occur under sustained full load. A wide temperature HDD or SSD is required for sub-zero operation. Storage temperature range is -40°C to 85°C, and humidity range is 10%~90% non-condensing.
The system is tested to MIL-STD-810G Method 514.6 Category 4 for vibration and MIL-STD-810G Method 516.6 Procedure I, Table 516.6-II for shock. Safety certification is EN62368-1, and EMC certification is CE/FCC Class A according to EN 55032 and EN 55024.
The system supports up to 64 GB DDR4 2666/2400 SDRAM across two SODIMM slots. Storage options include:
- 2x internal SATA ports for 2.5" HDD/SSD, supporting RAID 0/1
- 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)
Yes. It has 1x full-size mini PCI Express socket with an internal SIM socket (mux with mSATA), and 1x M.2 2242 B key socket with dual front-accessible SIM sockets supporting dual SIM mode with a selected M.2 LTE module.
The Nuvo-7160GC measures 240 mm (W) x 225 mm (D) x 111 mm (H) and weighs 4.5 Kg. It supports wall-mount (standard) or DIN-rail mount (optional).
Yes, it has a MezIO™ expansion port compatible with Neousys MezIO™ modules, including options for additional serial ports (MezIO™-C180/C181), digital I/O (MezIO™-D220/D230), ignition power control (MezIO™-V20-EP), additional USB 3.1 ports (MezIO™-U4), and additional GigE or PoE+ ports (MezIO™-G4/G4P). Note that only the Nuvo-7160-PoE model supports MezIO™-G4P.
How-to Guides
- Locate the 1x PCIe x16 slot @ Gen3 (16-lane PCIe signals) inside the system's Cassette design.
- Select an NVIDIA® graphics card with TDP up to 120W and dimensions not exceeding 188 mm (L) x 121 mm (W).
- Install the card into the dual-slot allocation within the Cassette, ensuring proper seating in the PCIe x16 slot.
- Locate the 2x internal SATA ports designed for 2.5" HDD/SSD installation.
- Install up to two 2.5" drives into the internal SATA ports.
- Configure RAID 0 or RAID 1 as needed, since the SATA ports support RAID 0/1.
- Locate the M.2 2280 M key socket (PCIe Gen3 x4).
- Insert the M.2 NVMe SSD or Intel® Optane™ memory module into the socket.
- Secure the module according to the M.2 2280 form factor.
- Locate the 3-pin pluggable terminal block for DC input.
- Connect a power source within the 8~35VDC range to the terminal block.
- Alternatively, use the optional PA-280W-ET2 280W AC/DC power adapter (24V/11.67A) with cord end terminals for the terminal block.
- Choose standard wall-mount or optional DIN-rail mount, both of which are supported by the system.
- For added shock/vibration protection, consider the optional Neousys damping bracket assembly designed for the Nuvo-7160GC/Nuvo-7164GC.
- Secure the unit using the chosen mounting method per its footprint of 240 mm (W) x 225 mm (D) x 111 mm (H).
Introduction
Nuvo-7160GC is a ruggedized GPU-aided edge computing platform designed for modern machine learning applications such as autonomous driving, facial recognition and machine vision. It supports up to a 120W GPU, delivering 4~6 TFLOPS computing power for inference, as well as Intel® 9th/ 8th-Gen Coffee Lake Core™ 8/ 6-core CPU, offering up to 50% CPU performance enhancement over previous generations.
Thanks to Neousys' patented Cassette design and ingenious ventilation mechanism, Nuvo-7160GC can effectively dissipate the heat generated by the GPU.
