The system accepts 8~48V DC wide-range input via a 4-pin pluggable terminal block with built-in ignition control. Supplying a voltage over 48V will damage the system.
With a 35W CPU, the operating temperature range is -25°C to 60°C. With a 65W CPU, the range is -25°C to 60°C when configured in 35W TDP mode, or -25°C to 50°C when configured in 65W TDP mode. Note: systems with an NVIDIA® Tesla T4 installed require an operating temperature of 0°C to 50°C per NVIDIA's Tesla T4 warranty policy. Storage temperature range is -40°C to 85°C. For sub-zero operating temperature, a wide temperature HDD or SSD is required.
The system is rated for CE/FCC Class A compliance according to EN 55022 and EN 55024. It has also been tested to MIL-STD-810G Method 514.6 (vibration, Category 4, 3 Grms) and MIL-STD-810G Method 516.6, Procedure I (shock).
The Nuvo-8240GC supports up to 128 GB ECC/non-ECC DDR4-2133 SDRAM across four SODIMM slots. Storage options include a hot-swappable 2.5" HDD/SSD tray, an internal 2.5" SATA port (supports RAID 0/1), an M.2 2280 M key socket (PCIe Gen3 x4) for NVMe SSD or Intel® Optane memory, and 2x full-size mSATA ports (mux with mini-PCIe).
Neousys has tested the system with Microsoft Windows 10 (x64), Fedora 29, Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS, and Ubuntu 18.04.0 LTS. For other Linux distributions, the kernel should be upgraded to 4.15.18 or later. The system ships with a Drivers & Utilities DVD offering one-click automatic driver installation, or drivers can be installed manually in a specific sequence (chipset, graphics, audio, LAN, ME).
The system includes a dual mode mSATA/mini-PCIe socket with Mini-SIM card support for 3G/4G connectivity, and an M.2 2242 B key socket that works with dual SIM slots (4G+3G) for 3G/4G modules. Reserved SMA antenna apertures are available on the I/O panel for wireless (WiFi/3G/4G) communication. Note: dual SIM functionality on the M.2 slot is only available with a Sierra Wireless EM7455/7430 module; other modules default to SIM slot 1.
The Nuvo-8240GC measures 190mm (W) x 270mm (D) x 198mm (H) and weighs 5 kg. It uses Neousys' patented damping brackets as a standard mounting feature.
Yes. The system supports up to two NVIDIA® Tesla T4 inference accelerators via its dual PCIe x16 slots (Gen3, 8-lanes). It also provides two additional PCIe x8 slots (Gen3, 4-lanes) for other expansion cards.
How-to Guides
- Refer to the enclosure disassembly procedure; you may not need to fully dismantle the system to access the M.2 slot.
- Locate the M.2 2280 slot on the motherboard.
- Insert the module at a 45-degree angle.
- Gently press down and secure the module with an M2.5 P-head screw.
- Reinstall the system enclosure and panel when done.
- If using Intel® Optane memory for hard drive acceleration, refer to the Optane Memory BIOS Setup and Driver Installation section.
- 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 drive into the slot first. Push firmly until the drive is fully inserted.
- Push the handle into the slot until it snaps into position. A key is provided in the accessory box to lock the slot.
- Disassemble the system enclosure as described in the disassembly section.
- Locate the SODIMM 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 additional modules.
- Reinstall the system enclosure and panel when done.
- Disassemble the system enclosure.
- Locate the PCIe x16 slots on the daughter board (indicated in red and blue); install the initial card into the red slot for easier second-card installation.
- Remove the corresponding enclosure bezel(s) for the PCIe slot you wish to use.
- Remove the Tesla T4 from its antistatic bag and gently lower it into the PCIe slot, ensuring the gold fingers meet and the graphics card panel is properly inserted.
- Secure the accelerator's bezel.
- Repeat for a second accelerator if needed.
- Reinstall the enclosure when done.
- Connect the car Battery+ line (12V for sedan, 24V for bus/truck) to V+ on the 4-pin terminal block.
- Connect the car Battery-/GND line to GND.
- Connect the ACC line to IGN.
- Ensure the DC power source and IGN signal share the same ground. The IGN input accepts 8~48VDC; supplying a voltage higher than 48VDC may damage the system.
