Safety Precautions
Safety Precautions
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
If the system is not going to be used for a long time, disconnect it from mains
(power socket) to avoid transient over-voltage

Service and Maintenance/ ESD Precautions
Service and Maintenance
ONLY qualified personnel should service the system
Shutdown the system, disconnect the power cord and all other connections
before servicing the system
When replacing/ installing additional components (expansion card, memory
module, etc.), insert them as gently as possible while assuring proper
connector engagement
ESD Precautions
Handle add-on module, motherboard by their retention screws or the module’s
frame/ heat sink. Avoid touching the PCB circuit board or add-on module
connector pins
Use a grounded wrist strap and an anti-static work pad to discharge static
electricity when installing or maintaining the system
Avoid dust, debris, carpets, plastic, vinyl and styrofoam in your work area.
Do not remove any module or component from its anti-static bag before
installation

1 Introduction
Nuvo-8108GC series is rugged Edge AI platform with industrial-grade design and
in-vehicle features. Designed specifically to support a high-end 250W NVIDIA®
graphics card (Nuvo-8108GC); an NVIDIA® RTX A6000/ A5000/ A4000
(Nuvo-8108GC-QD); up to an NVIDIA RTX 3080 (Nuvo-8108GC-XL), it offers
tremendous GPU power up to 14 TFLOPS in FP32 for emerging GPU-accelerated
edge computing, such as autonomous driving, vision inspection and surveillance/
security.
Nuvo-8108GC is powered by
Intel® Xeon® E or 9th/ 8th-Gen
Core™ 8-core/ 6-core CPUs
coupled with workstation-grade
Intel® C246 chipset to support
up to 128 GB ECC or non-ECC
DDR4 memory. The system
incorporates one pat door 2.5”
SATA and one hot-swappable
2.5" trays for easy HDD/ SSD
replacement and an M.2 2280 NVMe socket for the ultimate disk performance. Its
front-accessible GbE and USB 3.1 Gen1/ Gen2 ports feature screw-lock mechanisms
for securing cable connections. In addition to the x16 PCIe slots (8-lanes) for GPU
installation, Nuvo-8108GC has other two x8 PCIe slots (4-lanes) and one x16 PCIe
slot (8-lanes) for expansion cards to extend function sets like data collection,
analytics and communication.
Nuvo-8108GC has a power delivery design that accepts 8~48V wide-range DC input
and handles heavy power requirements from a 250W GPU. Along with built-in ignition
control, it is feasible to deploy it on a vehicle and directly power it via the car's power
system. Mechanical wise, Nuvo-8108GC incorporates Neousys’ patented heat
dissipation design, damping brackets and patent-pending GPU press bar, making it
steady and rock-solid in various conditions. The Nuvo-8108GC is Neousys' response
to the never-ending demand of TFLOPS in industrial GPU platforms. With
industrial-grade power, thermal and mechanical design, it pushes versatile AI
inference applications from laboratories to field applications, where reliability matters.
