- 1x 3.5 mm 4-pole mic-in/speaker-out jack
- 4-CH isolated digital input and 4-CH isolated digital output via DB15 connector
The system accepts 8~35V DC input through a 3-pin pluggable terminal block, which also supports an optional ignition power control signal on Nuvo-7531-IGN models. Measured power consumption is up to 58W (Max.) @ 24V with an i5-8500T CPU (35W mode) and up to 100W (Max.) @ 24V with an i7-9700E CPU (65W mode).
Operating temperature is -25°C to 60°C with a 35W CPU, and -25°C to 60°C with a 65W CPU (optional fan kit required in the 65W configuration). Storage temperature is -40°C to 85°C. Note: for sub-zero operating temperature, a wide-temperature HDD or SSD is required, and i7 CPUs may experience thermal throttling under sustained full load at 60°C ambient. The system is rated for humidity 10%~90% non-condensing, MIL-STD-810G vibration (Method 514.6, Category 4) and shock (Method 516.6, Procedure I, Table 516.6-II), safety per EN62368-1, and EMC per CE/FCC Class A (EN 55032 & EN 55024).
The system has one hot-swappable 2.5" HDD/SSD tray (supports 7mm or 9.5mm drives, with supplied PORON spacers for 7mm drives), one M.2 2280 slot (SATA signal only), and a single 260-pin SODIMM slot supporting up to 32GB of DDR4-2666/2400 memory.
Yes. The system has three full-size mini PCI Express sockets with internal SIM sockets, allowing installation of WIFI or 3G/4G modules for wireless communication. Dedicated SMA antenna openings are located on the side of the chassis.
Neousys has tested the Nuvo-7531 with Microsoft Windows 10 (x64), Fedora 29, and Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS / 18.04.0 LTS. For other Linux distributions, the kernel should be upgraded to 4.15.18 or later. Drivers can be installed automatically via the included Drivers & Utilities DVD, or manually in the sequence: chipset, graphics, audio, LAN, then ME driver. A separate WDT_DIO driver package is required to use the Watchdog Timer and DIO function APIs.
The Nuvo-7531 measures 212mm (W) x 165mm (D) x 63mm (H) and weighs 2.5 kg. It has built-in wall-mounting brackets as the standard mounting method, with an optional DIN-rail mounting kit (DINRAIL-31) available.
The system is designed for best thermal performance with 35W TDP CPUs without a fan. If a 65W CPU is installed, an optional fan kit (92mm x 92mm fan) is required to stay within the rated -25°C to 60°C operating range. Alternatively, a 65W CPU's SKU power limit can be configured in BIOS (down to 35W) to run fanless while giving more computing headroom than a native 35W part.
How-to Guides
- Power off the system and disconnect all cables.
- Access the M.2 slot either via the trapdoor on the bottom of the enclosure (remove the indicated screws) or by fully disassembling the enclosure.
- Insert the M.2 2280 SATA module into the slot at a 45-degree angle.
- Gently press the module down and secure it with an M3 P-head screw.
- Reinstall the enclosure or trapdoor when done.
Note: The M.2 slot only supports SATA signal M.2 SSDs, not NVMe.
- Disassemble the system enclosure to access the SODIMM slot (full disassembly may not be required).
- Locate the single SODIMM slot on the motherboard.
- Insert the gold fingers of the module into the slot at a 45-degree angle, then push down on the edge until the side clips secure the module.
- If installing a DRAM module for the first time, remove the thermal pad protective film attached to the bottom of the hot-swappable tray enclosure.
- Reinstall the system enclosure and panel.
- Access the mini-PCIe slots via the trapdoor on the bottom of the enclosure (remove indicated screws), or fully disassemble the enclosure.
- If using a cellular module, insert the corresponding SIM card into the SIM card holder with pins facing up, then slide the holder to secure it.
- Insert the mini-PCIe module into the slot at a 45-degree angle and secure it.
- Clip the IPEZ-to-SMA cable to the module and secure the antenna to the side panel opening.
- Reinstall the system enclosure, panel, and external antenna.
- Pull the lever on the front 2.5" hot-swappable slot to swing open the cover.
- If installing a 7mm thickness drive, attach the supplied PORON material to the corners of the non-label side of the drive.
- With the label side facing upward, insert the SATA connector side of the drive into the slot first, pushing firmly until fully seated.
- Push the lever closed until it snaps into position; use the supplied key to lock the tray if desired.
- Connect the vehicle Battery+ line (12V for sedan, 24V for bus/truck) to the V+ terminal on the 3-pin terminal block.
- Connect the vehicle Battery-/GND line to the GND terminal.
- Connect the ACC (ignition) line to the IGN terminal.
- Ensure the DC power source and IGN signal share the same ground.
- In Windows, set "When I press the power button" to "Shut down" so the ignition controller recognizes a completed shutdown.
- Use the ignition rotary switch on the motherboard to select the desired power-on/power-off delay mode (0-15).
Warning: IGN input accepts 8~35VDC; supplying more than 35VDC may damage the system.
