Frequently Asked Questions
The Nuvo-8208GC supports dual 250W NVIDIA® graphics cards, delivering up to 28 TFLOPS in FP32. GPUs connect via two independent PCIe x16 slots at Gen3, 8-lanes each.
The system uses an LGA1151 socket and supports Intel® Xeon® E (2176G, 2278GE, 2278GEL), 9th/8th-Gen Core™ i7 (i7-9700E, i7-9700TE, i7-8700, i7-8700T), i5 (i5-9500E, i5-9500TE, i5-8500, i5-8500T), and i3 (i3-9100E, i3-9100TE, i3-8100, i3-8100T) processors, paired with the Intel® C246 chipset.
The system supports up to 128GB of ECC or non-ECC DDR4 2133 SDRAM across 4x SODIMM sockets.
The Nuvo-8208GC provides two PCIe x16 slots (Gen3, 8-lanes) for GPUs, two additional PCIe x8 slots (Gen3, 4-lanes), and one PCIe x4 slot (Gen3, 1-lane) for expansion cards. It also has an M.2 2242 B key socket supporting dual SIM mode with a selected M.2 LTE module, and two full-size mini-PCIe sockets.
The Nuvo-8208GC accepts an 8~35V wide-range DC input via a 2-pin pluggable terminal block, with built-in ignition power control for in-vehicle deployment. This design is intended to handle the heavy power draw from dual 250W GPUs.
The system is rated for -25°C to 60°C operation with 35W CPU and dual NVIDIA® 250W GPUs. In 65W TDP mode, the operating range is -25°C to 50°C. Storage temperature range is -40°C to 85°C. Note: for i7-9700E and i7-8700 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 BIOS. Sub-zero operation requires a wide-temperature HDD or SSD.
The system includes two hot-swappable 2.5" HDD/SSD trays with RAID 0/1 support, one M.2 2280 M key socket (PCIe Gen3 x4) for NVMe SSD or Intel® Optane™ memory installation, and two full-size mSATA ports (mux with mini-PCIe).
The Nuvo-8208GC provides two Gigabit Ethernet ports (Intel® I219-LM and I210-IT), one VGA port (up to 1920x1200), one DVI-D port (up to 1920x1200), one DisplayPort (up to 4096x2304), two software-programmable RS-232/422/485 serial ports (COM1/COM2), four USB 3.1 Gen2 (10 Gbps) ports, four USB 3.1 Gen1 (5 Gbps) ports, one internal USB 2.0 port for dongle use, and a 3.5mm audio jack for mic-in and speaker-out.
The Nuvo-8208GC measures 225 mm (W) x 360 mm (D) x 186 mm (H) and weighs 8.6 kg. It is designed for wall-mount installation with damping brackets.
The system is CE/FCC Class A certified according to EN 55024 and EN 55032. It has passed operating vibration testing per MIL-STD-810G Method 514.6, Category 4 (3 Grms, 5-500 Hz, 3 axes), and operating shock testing per MIL-STD-810G Method 516.6, Procedure I, Table 516.6-II. Humidity rating is 10%~90%, non-condensing. Damping brackets are patented to withstand 3 Grms vibration.
How-to Guides
- Locate the two hot-swappable 2.5" HDD/SSD trays on the Nuvo-8208GC.
- Install a 2.5" HDD or SSD into a tray.
- Insert the tray into the system; the trays support RAID 0/1 configuration when two drives are installed.
- Locate the M.2 2280 M key socket (PCIe Gen3 x4) inside the chassis.
- Insert the M.2 2280 NVMe SSD (or Intel® Optane™ memory module) into the socket.
- Secure the module according to the standard M.2 mounting screw point.
- Confirm the power source is within the supported 8~35V DC wide-range input.
- Connect the power leads to the 2-pin pluggable terminal block DC input on the unit.
- If deploying in a vehicle, use the built-in ignition power control feature to manage power via the car's ignition system.
- Use the included damping brackets designed for wall-mount installation.
- Attach the damping brackets to the chassis.
- Mount the unit to the wall using the brackets to help absorb vibration (rated to withstand 3 Grms).
- Access the system BIOS setup.
- Locate the CPU power configuration setting (35W or 65W TDP mode).
- Select the desired TDP mode; note that 35W mode supports operation up to 60°C, while 65W mode supports operation up to 50°C.
- For i7-9700E and i7-8700 running at 65W mode, be aware the highest operating temperature is limited to 50°C and thermal throttling may occur under sustained full load.
