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
Battery Warning
⚫Batteries are at risk of exploding if incorrectly installed.
⚫Do not attempt to recharge, force open, or heat the
battery.
⚫Replace the battery only with the same or equivalent type
recommended by the manufacturer.

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
8
tyrofoam in your work area.
⚫Do not remove any module or component from its anti-static bag before
installation
Restricted Access Location
The controller is intended for installation only in the certain environment where both
these condition apply:
⚫Access can only be gained by SERVICE PERSONS or by USERS who have
been instructed about the reasons for the restrictions applied to the location
and about any precautions that shall be taken

1 Introduction
Nuvo-10108GC is a ruggedized EdgeAI computer with extreme CPU and GPU performance
for autonomous driving andAI-powered factory automation. It leverages an Intel® 13th/
12th-Gen CPU and an NVIDIA® RTX™40 series or the latest RTX™6000 Ada GPU, offering
single-precision GPU performances up to 48 TFLOPS or 91 TFLOPS, respectively.
Powered by an Intel® 13th/ 12th-Gen CPU with up to 24 cores and 32 threads,
Nuvo-10108GC offers up to double the performance when compared to previous Intel® 10th
or 11th-Gen platforms. It supports ECC memory to deliver mission-critical computation, e.g.,
automated driving in urban traffic while inheriting a proven thermal dissipation design for the
CPU and GPU to guarantee rugged,
-25°C to 60°C wide-temperature operation.
To withstand continuous shaking and
juddering conditions for on and off
highway applications, Nuvo-10108GC
features an innovative GPU locking
bracket to fasten the GPU to the chassis,
and Neousys' patented damping bracket
to absorb high-frequency vibration.
Nuvo-10108GC also features an
abundance of I/Os, such as 6x USB3.2 Gen2, 2x 2.5GbE, 1x GbE, and 1x optional 10GbE.
Expansion-wise, Nuvo-10108GC offers 3x additional PCIe slots for GMSL2/ industrial camera
frame grabbers and various add-on cards.Also, it provides 2x full-size mini PCI Express
sockets for CAN bus/ COM expansion and 1x M.2 B key sockets for mobile connectivity with
4G LTE, 5G NR, or WiFi modules. In terms of data storage, Nuvo-10108GC offers an M.2
2280 M socket for Gen4x4 NVMe, and dual front-accessible storage options, including a 2.5"
SATA HDD/SSD and an optional M.2 2280 Gen4x4 NVMe tray.
By utilizing Intel's 13th/ 12th-Gen platform, NVIDIA® RTX™inference capability, and
Neousys' industrial-grade power, thermal and mechanical designs with rich I/O and expansion,
Nuvo-10108GC is a rugged edgeAI platform that offers unprecedented GPU and CPU
computing power for modernAI applications.
