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

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.

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.
