The system accepts a wide-range 8V to 48V DC input via a 3-pin pluggable terminal block, which also supports ignition (IGN) signal input for in-vehicle deployment. There is also a separate 3-pin terminal block for remote control and PWR LED output. Supplying a voltage over 48V will damage the system.
With a 35W CPU, the system operates from -40°C to 70°C with one memory module installed, or -40°C to 60°C with two memory modules installed. With a 65W CPU, operating temperature is limited to -40°C to 50°C (with two memory modules). For sub-zero operation, a wide-temperature HDD or SSD is required. Storage temperature is -40°C to 85°C, and humidity range is 10% to 90% non-condensing.
The system is E-Mark certified, EN 45545-2 certified, and complies with EN 50155 EMC requirements (via EN 50121). It also meets CE/FCC Class A per EN 55032 and EN 55035, and is rated to EN 50155:2017/IEC 61373 Category I, Class B (Body mounted) for both vibration and shock.
The system supports up to 64GB DDR5 4800 SDRAM across two SODIMM slots. For storage, it has one M.2 2280 M-key slot (PCIe Gen4 x4) for an NVMe SSD, plus 2x SATA ports supporting one hot-swappable 2.5" HDD tray and one internal 2.5" SATA drive, with RAID 0/1 support when both drives are populated.
Yes. The system has 1x full-size mini-PCIe socket, 2x full-size mini-PCIe sockets (USB signal only, with internal SIM sockets), and 2x M.2 2242/3052 B-key sockets with SIM slots for M.2 5G/4G modules. These sockets, combined with SMA antenna apertures on the panel, allow installation of 5G/4G, WiFi, GPS, or CAN modules for wireless communication.
Neousys has tested the system with Microsoft Windows 10 LTSC 2021 (x64) and Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS, 22.04 LTS, 22.04.1 LTS, or other distributions with kernel version 5.15 or later. On Linux, users may need to manually compile drivers for Intel graphics or the I225/I226 GbE controller if not embedded in the kernel.
The Nuvo-9100VTC measures 240mm (W) x 225mm (D) x 84mm (H) and weighs approximately 3.7kg. It is designed for wall-mount installation with a damping bracket (standard) for in-vehicle deployment.
All three models share the same core specifications. The difference is in the PoE+ port implementation: Nuvo-9100VTC uses 4x M12 X-coded PoE+ connectors, Nuvo-9104VTC uses 4x RJ45 PoE+ connectors, and Nuvo-9108VTC uses 8x RJ45 PoE+ connectors (4x Gigabit and 4x 2.5GbE).
How-to Guides
- Locate the 3-pin pluggable terminal block on the rear panel, shared for DC power and ignition (IGN) input.
- Connect the car's Battery+ line (12V for sedan, 24V for bus/truck) to V+.
- Connect the car's Battery-/GND line to GND.
- Connect the vehicle's ACC line to IGN.
- Ensure the DC power source and IGN signal share the same ground. The IGN input accepts 8~48VDC; supplying a higher voltage may damage the system.
- Disassemble the system enclosure to access the M.2 2280 slot (you may not need to fully dismantle the system).
- Insert the M.2 NVMe SSD module into the slot at a 45-degree angle.
- Gently press down and secure the module with an M3 P-head screw.
- Remove the thermal pad protector film off the heatsink/support frame for the NVMe SSD.
- Reinstall the system enclosure and panel when done.
- Pull the lever on the 2.5" external hot-swappable slot to swing open the cover.
- With the label side facing upward, insert the SATA connector side of the 2.5" HDD/SSD into the slot first, pushing firmly until fully inserted.
- Push the lever into the slot until it snaps into position.
- Use the key provided in the accessory box to lock the external slot if desired.
- Remove any rubber stands attached to the bottom of the enclosure.
- Take the damping bracket and M4 screws out of the accessory box.
- Fix the damping bracket to the system enclosure using M4 screws.
- Place the system on a flat surface and secure it using M4 screws.
- Install at least two hard drives or SSDs in the system (RAID 0 or RAID 1 requires two drives).
- Press F2 at boot to enter BIOS setup, then go to Advanced > System Agent (SA) Configuration > VMD setup menu.
- Select Enable VMD controller, set it to Enabled, then press F10 to save and reboot.
- On reboot, press F3 to enter the Device Manager configuration utility and select Intel Rapid Storage Technology.
- Select Create RAID Volume, name the volume, choose RAID Level (RAID-0 or RAID-1), select the disks, set stripe size (if RAID-0) and capacity, then select Create Volume.
- Press F10 to save and Esc to exit once the volume is created.
