2.2 Front Panel I/O Functions
On Nuvo-5095GC series, plenty of I/O functions are provided on front panel and back panel
so you can easily access them. Most common computer I/O functions are placed on the
front panel. In this section, we’ll illustrate each I/O function on the front panel.
2.2.1 Power Button
The power button is a tact switch forATX mode on/off operation. To turn on the
Nuvo-5095GC controller, press the power button and the PWR LED is lighted up. To turn off
the Nuvo-5095GC controller, you can either issue a shutdown command in OS, or just
simply press the power button. In case of system halts, you can press and hold the power
button for 5 seconds to compulsorily shut down the system. Please note that a 5 seconds
interval is kept by the system between two on/off operations (i.e. once turning off the
system, you shall wait for 5 seconds to initiate another power-on operation).

2.2.2 Reset Button
The reset button is used to manually reset the system in case of any abnormal condition. To
avoid unexpected operation, the reset button is hidden behind the front panel. You need to
use a pin-like object to push the reset button.
2.2.3 LED Indicators
There are four LED indicators on the front panel: PWR, HDD, WDT, and IGN. The
descriptions of these three LED are listed in the following table.
Indicator Color Description
PWR Green Power indicator, lighted-up when system is on.
HDD Red Hard drive indicator, flashing when SATAhard drive is active.
WDT Yellow Watchdog timer indicator, flashing when watchdog timer is started.
IGN Orange If ignition option (MezIO-V20) is applied, this LED is used to indicate
ignition signal status.

2.2.4 Gigabit Ethernet Port
Nuvo-5095GC series offers 6 GbE ports on its front panel. The GbE port marked in blue is
designed with Intel® I219-LM and ports marked in red are implemented with Intel®I210-IT
Gigabit Ethernet controllers.
Each port has one dedicated GbE controller and one dedicated PCI Express link to present
maximal network performance. When plugging in the Ethernet cable, you can tell the
Ethernet status and speed from the LED indicators on the RJ45 connector as following:
Active/Link LED

The port implemented using Intel® I219-LM supports Wake-on-LAN function. It is also
capable of operating with Intel®AMT (Active Management Technology) to support
advanced features such as remote SOL desktop and remote on/off control. Please refer to
section 4.2 for detail.
To utilize the GbE port in Windows, you need to install corresponding driver for Intel®
I210-IT/I219-LM GbE controller. Please refer to section 4.5 for information of driver
installation.

2.2.5 Remote On/Off Control and Status LED Output
For an application which places Nuvo-5095GC controller inside a cabinet, it’s useful to
control the on/off of the system via an external switch, as well as check how the system’s
running via some external LED indicators. Nuvo-5095GC series provides a 2x5, 2.0mm
pitch wafer connector on the front panel for this purpose.
Pin# Definition Description
1 Ctrl+ [Input] Remote on/off control, connecting to an external
switch to turn on/off the system (polarity is negligible).
2 Ctrl-
3 Power+ [Output] System power indicator, on if system is turned
on, off if system is turned off.
4 Power-
5 HDD+ [Output]
Hard drive indicator, flashing when SATAhard
drive is active.
6 HDD-
7 Standby Power+ [Output] Standby power indicator, lighting up when DC
power is applied and system is in S5 (standby) mode.
8 Standby Power-
9 WDT+ [Output] Watchdog timer indicator, flashing when
watchdog timer is started.
10 WDT-
Note
Please make sure the polarity is correct when you connect the external LED indicator to the Status
LED Output.

Pin#3 to pin#10 are used to output the system status including power, HDD, and watchdog
timer status. Pin#1 and pin#2 are used to turn on or turn off the system remotely by
connecting an external switch. Users should connect a non-latched switch to Ctrl+/Ctrl- as it
acts exactly the same as the power button on the front panel. For detail information of using
remote on/off control function, please refer to section 3.10.2.
The status LED output has a built-in series-resistor and provides 3.3V, 10mAcurrent, which
means you can use these pins to directly drive an external LED indicator.
2.2.6 USB 3.0 Connectors
Nuvo-5095GC series offers four USB 3.0 (SuperSpeed USB) ports on its front panel. They
are implemented by native xHCI (eXtensible Host Controller Interface) controller in Q170
chipset and are compatible with USB 3.0, USB 2.0, USB 1.1 and USB 1.0 devices. Legacy
USB support is also provided so you can use USB keyboard/mouse in DOS environment.
Due to the nature that XHCI driver is not included natively in Windows 7, you may
encounter the issue of USB keyboard/mouse not working when installing Windows 7.
Neousys offers a Windows-based batch file and step-by-step guide to help you. Please
refer to AppendixA for information of installing Windows 7 on Nuvo-5095GC series.

2.2.7 DVI/HDMI Connectors
Nuvo-5095GC series has multiple display outputs on its front panel for connecting different
displays according to your system configuration. DVI/HDMI transmits graphics data in
digital format and therefore can deliver better image quality at high resolution. The
DVI/HDMI connector on the front panel can either output DVI signals or HDMI signal
depending on the display device connected. It supports up to 1920 x 1200 resolution. You
can use a DVI to HDMI cable to connect a HDMI display device.
Nuvo-5095GC series supports tipple independent display outputs with any combination of
VGA, DVI/HDMI and DisplayPort. To support multiple display outputs and achieve best
DVI/HDMI output resolution in Windows, you need to install corresponding graphics driver.
Please refer to section 4.5 for information of driver installation.

2.2.8 VGA Connector
Nuvo-5095GC series has multiple display outputs on its front panel for connecting different
displays according to your system configuration. VGAconnector is the most popular way for
connecting a display. The VGAoutput on Nuvo-5095GC series supports up to 1920 x 1200
resolution. By BIOS default and hardware implementation, the VGAoutput is always
enabled even when VGAmonitor is not connected.
Nuvo-5095GC series supports tipple independent display outputs with any combination of
VGA, DVI/HDMI and DisplayPort. To support multiple display outputs and achieve best
DVI/HDMI output resolution in Windows, you need to install corresponding graphics driver.
Please refer to section 4.5 for information of driver installation.
Note
1. Please make sure your VGA cable includes SDA and SCL (DDC clock and data) signals for
correct communication with monitor to get resolution/timing information. A cable without
