Frequently Asked Questions
The system uses an LGA1151 socket and supports Intel® Xeon® E and 9th/8th-Gen Core™ processors, including Xeon E 2176G, 2278GE, 2278GEL, i7-9700E, i7-9700TE, i7-8700, i7-8700T, i5-9500E, i5-9500TE, i5-8500, i5-8500T, i3-9100E, i3-9100TE, i3-8100, and i3-8100T. It uses the Intel® C246 Platform Controller Hub chipset.
The platform is designed for NVIDIA® RTX A6000 and RTX A4500 GPU cards, connected via an x16 PEG PCIe port. It includes a dedicated GPU card bracket and Neousys' patented damping brackets to secure the card under shock and vibration.
The Nuvo-8108GC-QD supports up to 128 GB of ECC or non-ECC DDR4 2133 SDRAM across four SODIMM slots.
The system accepts an 8~48V wide-range DC input through two 4-pin pluggable terminal blocks, with built-in ignition power control.
Operating temperature depends on CPU TDP configuration and GPU installation: -25°C to 60°C with a 35W CPU and one NVIDIA® RTX A6000/A4500 GPU, -25°C to 60°C when a 65W+ CPU is configured in 35W TDP mode, and -25°C to 50°C when configured in 65W TDP mode. Storage temperature is -40°C to 85°C. For i7-9700/8700 running at 65W mode, the highest operating temperature is limited to 50°C and thermal throttling may occur under sustained full load; CPU power mode can be configured in the BIOS. For high-temperature operation, a wide-temperature HDD or SSD is required.
The system provides one hot-swappable HDD tray for 2.5" HDD/SSD installation, one internal SATA port for a 2.5" HDD/SSD supporting RAID 0/1, one M.2 2280 M key socket (PCIe Gen3 x4) for an NVMe SSD or Intel® Optane™ memory, and two full-size mSATA ports (muxed with mini-PCIe).
Expansion options include one PCIe x16 slot (8 lanes, Gen3), one PCIe x8 slot (4 lanes, Gen3), one M.2 2242 B key socket supporting dual SIM mode with selected M.2 LTE modules, and two full-size mini-PCIe sockets.
The system includes 1x Gigabit Ethernet port (Intel® I219-LM), 1x VGA port (up to 1920x1200), 1x DVI-D port (up to 1920x1200), 1x DisplayPort (up to 4096x2304), 2x software-programmable RS-232/422/485 serial ports (COM1/COM2), 4x USB 3.1 Gen2 ports, 1x USB 2.0 port (internal, for dongle use), and 1x 3.5mm audio jack for mic-in and speaker-out.
The Nuvo-8108GC-QD measures 170.2 mm (W) x 360 mm (D) x 201.8 mm (H) and weighs 5.8 kg.
The system is rated for operating vibration per MIL-STD-810G Method 514.6 Category 4, operating shock per MIL-STD-810G Method 516.6 Procedure I Table 516.6-II, humidity of 10%~90% non-condensing, and EMC compliance with CE/FCC Class A according to EN 55024 & EN 55032.
How-to Guides
- Locate the hot-swappable HDD tray on the front of the unit.
- Remove the tray from the chassis.
- Install a 2.5" HDD or SSD into the tray.
- Re-insert the tray into the hot-swap bay.
Note: An internal SATA port is also available for a 2.5" HDD/SSD, and it can be configured with the tray-mounted drive for RAID 0/1.
- Confirm the power source is within the supported 8~48V DC wide-range input.
- Connect the DC supply leads to one of the two 4-pin pluggable terminal blocks located on the rear panel.
- The system includes built-in ignition power control for automotive/vehicle power scenarios.
- Enter the system BIOS at startup.
- Locate the CPU power configuration setting.
- Select either 35W or 65W TDP mode depending on the CPU installed and the operating environment.
- Note that selecting 65W mode limits the highest guaranteed operating temperature to 50°C, and thermal throttling may occur under sustained full-load conditions for i7-9700/8700 processors.
- Install the NVIDIA® RTX A6000 or A4500 GPU card into the x16 PEG PCIe slot.
- Attach the dedicated GPU card bracket to hold the card firmly in place.
- Use Neousys' patented damping brackets to secure the assembly against shock and vibration.
