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

1 Introduction
The Neousys Nuvo-6108GC is the world’s first industrial-grade GPU computer
integrating NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1070, 1080 or TITAN X and an Intel Xeon
processor.
The perfect replace for massive rackmount IPC systems, Nuvo-6108GC is powered
by Intel® Xeon® E3 v5 or 6th Gen Core™ processor with C236 chipset, supports up
to 32GB of ECC/ non-ECC DDR4 memory and has rich I/O ports such as Gigabit
Ethernet, USB3.0, video ports and serial ports. In addition to the x16 PCIe port for
GPU installation, there are two x8 PCIe expansion slots for additional devices or
other application means.
In order to sustain high GPU
performance in industrial
environments, Nuvo-6108GC
features patented cold air
intake design to effectively
dissipate heat generated by
the graphics card. The unique
design guarantees operation
at 60℃with 100% GPU
loading and ensures
Nuvo-6108GC’s reliability for
demanding field use. In
addition, Nuvo-6108GC comes with patented shock/ vibration absorption mounting
brackets to ensure the system’s smooth operation under harsh environments.
“GPU computing is a popular emerging technology and has been a hot topic in the
last five years. Nuvo-6108GC is Neousys’ response to advanced GPU-accelerated
computing and is applicable to applications such as artificial intelligence, virtual
reality, autonomous driving and CUDA computing.
