Read these instructions carefully before you install, operate, or transport the system.
Install the system or DIN rail associated with, at a sturdy location
Install the power socket outlet near the system where it is easily accessible
Secure each system module(s) using its retaining screws
Place power cords and other connection cables away from foot traffic. Do not
place items over power cords and make sure they do not rest against data cables
Shutdown, disconnect all cables from the system and ground yourself before
touching internal modules
Ensure that the correct power range is being used before powering the device
Should a module fail, arrange for a replacement as soon as possible to minimize
down-time
By means of a power cord connected to a socket-outlet with earthing connection
This product is intended to be supplied by a Listed Power Adapter or DC power
source, rated 24Vdc, 16A, Tma 60 degree C and 5000m altitude during operation.
If further assistance is required, please contact Neousys Technology
If the system is not going to be used for a long time, disconnect it from mains
(power socket) to avoid transient over-voltage

1 Introduction
Nuvo-8034 is based on the one-for-all concept featuring meets the I/O expansions that meet
the demands of industrial automation and system integrators for machine vision, automation,
and AI applications. Nuvo-8034 is the first box-PC to offer seven expansion slots that include
two x16 PCIe, two x8 PCIe and three PCI slots, in just half the volume of a typical 4U, 19”
industrial computer. Along with Xeon®E or Intel 9th/ 8th-Gen Core desktop processor and
workstation-grade Intel C246 chipset, it delivers state-of-the-art processing power among
off-the-shelf box-PCs and rack-mount IPCs. More than that, with Neousys’ distinctive power
design, Nuvo-8034 is able to power a single 180W NVIDIA GPU, to fuel teraFLOPS
performance for deep learning-based vision inspection applications.
External I/O wise, Nuvo-8034
has eight USB 3.1 Gen2/ Gen1
ports with screw-lock, two Gigabit
Ethernet ports, four COM ports
and 8-CH isolated DI plus 8-CH
isolated DO for general machine
automation usage. It also has two
front-accessible, hot-swappable
2.5" SATA tray with RAID 0/ 1
support. Internally it supports an
M.2 NVMe SSD and up to 128
GB DDR4 memory for the
ultimate system performance.
In addition, by supporting an 180W GPU, it’s now possible to leverage cutting-edge deep
learning methodologies to complement complicated vision inspection systems. We believe
Nuvo-8034 is the universal platform fulfilling all demands of machine automation and vision
inspection, both now and in the future.”
